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 at this site.
FSM publishes 6 print issues plus four
FineScale Modeler DLC (Downloadable Content) packages 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 to 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. We welcome your stories and photos, no matter where you're from.
While you're here, please let us know what you think - about our website, about
FSM, and about the hobby. Just click "
