FineScale Modeler, or "FSM," as many of our readers refer to it, is the world's leading magazine devoted to the hobby of scale modeling. Our readers build models of every kind of subject you can imagine, from planes, armored vehicles, ships, and figures to autos, sci-fi spaceships, and real space vehicles. We present stories about those topics - and more - in the pages of the magazine as well as o

n our site. FSM publishes 6 print issues a year, and in each installment, we seek to help our readers enjoy their hobby more through articles that help build better modeling skills. In addition, the FSM staff produces Great Scale Modeling, a special issue that features some of the best models from around the world, and highlights model shows. We inspire our readers by presenting the best of the hobby in FSM's Reader Gallery and Showcase sections and keep our readers informed about the latest kits and products. Above all, though, we work to produce the best modeling magazine in the world and to give our customers a good value. FSM readers live in more than 80 countries, and we welcome those of you who live outside North America. FSM is truly an international magazine, and we have readers and authors from around the world.
