Next Month...Just three of the reasons why you won't want to miss the December issue

I've always adopted the philosophy that when things go wrong it's far better to hold your hands up rather than use them to try and cover your backside! So, after reading all the Model Boats website forum comments about the Glynn Guest mini plan for a simple landing craft featured in last month's issue, which due to a misunderstanding was published in the wrong format, I can only say mea culpa and extend my sincerest apologies to all. To rectify the matter, you will this month find the plan view reprinted horizontally across the centre spread, with the various parts appearing on the reverse of these pages -as originally intended by Glynn. We've added in scale bars, too.
Now suitably red-faced, I am, therefore, super grateful to David Marks, whose free full-size pull-out plan and build guide for the gravel pit tug Plover are also included in this issue, for his highly detailed instructions and above and beyond support throughout the preparation process. Likewise, it's been a real pleasure collaborating with all our other marvellous contributors, and, of course, all of you who have submitted such impressive and fascinating material for the Your Models/Your Letters section of the magazine (please keep your input coming).
Finally, although mentioned before on numerous occasions, may I just remind you that all feedback, whether positive or negative, is highly appreciated and valued, and where possible your suggestions are taken onboard, so please don't hesitate to get in touch. Enjoy your read!
