Military Modelling International Magazine  |  Vol48 No4
Welcome to Military Modelling Magazine, Vo 48, No 4, which is our annual 100-Page ‘Special’. This year we take a look at The Battle of Kursk, infamously known as the world’s largest tank battle, which took place 75 years ago this summer. In this issue we have focussed on the tank but we should also remember the hundreds of thousands of troops, artillery pieces, general support equipment and aircraft which took part in the long battle for a patch of land 150 miles long and 100 miles deep. Even with 100 pages to play with we can barely scratch the surface of this subject and other Kursk-related articles will appear later in the year in addition to these twelve articles.
While we have included some familiar contributors to you, I am pleased to introduce no less than five new ones (to me at least) in the shape of Johan Augustsson, Sven Frisch, Kimmo Happonen, Alexander Wegner and Konstantinos Tsiompris. All of them are high class modellers and I hope that they will continue to produce work for Military Modelling in the future.
