Just keep up the good work! Reviewed 08 February 2023

AeroModeller

I have been buying Aero Modeller as a paper mag for many years. At the start of the Covid-19 due to paper editions being difficult to get I switched to your Electronic one & added Model Engineer & Model Engineering Workshop to it. Before I could only afford one now I get all three. Thank you. Reviewed 20 August 2020

I'm impressed with the way Aeromodeller maintains its traditions. I enjoy it as much as I did 40 years ago. Not sure that's entirely good for business, but it's definitely good for me! Reviewed 22 May 2020
