For Issue #43, "we double your pleasure, double your fun," as AFM explores the dual possibilities of two-figure kit releases! These unique combo kits cover a wide variety of subject matter so our talented writers utilize multiple techniques to bring to life some of the latest and greatest creations the hobby has to offer.

To kick off this dynamic issue, Thad Rhodes has a howling good time with Nocturna Productions' "Cursed!" kit, and Rick Cantu butters up Simon Lee's latest mutant creation, Butterball. It's said that "only God can make a tree," but Mike Wallace does a pretty darned good job as he sails to Skull Island to create an amazing diorama with Weta's Kong vs T-Rex statue. For those modelers who love their monsters "old school," we have a duo of classic X-O Facto monster duos! First, Steve Riojas whips Jeff Yagher's Fritz and the Frankenstein Monster into shape, while Jeff Camp turns the color knob down on the ol' TV set to recreate Yagher's Bride of Frankenstein and the Doctor in glorious black and white. For those of you who prefer their kits a bit more colorful, take wing with the "Belles of Gotham." Lunatic Fringe's sexy pair of crime fighters gets all soft and cuddly with a hard and gritty city setting courtesy of Jason Walker. Taking you step by step in his creation of two custom anime style Playboy Bunnies, Lindsey Tufts, Jr. make his AFM debut with Bunnies Are Forever- after reading I think you'll agree with that Bondesque sentiment! Some of our readers may prefer their curves a little more dangerous- as in the curves of the roads toward Bartertown. That's where you'll next find Steve Riojas as he and Toi Ogunyoku's "Little Big Man" enter the modeling Thunderdome. With autumn nearly over, there's little left in the fields except lost souls, and Mike Falcigno makes hay with Moses Jaen's zombie hunter in "The Harvest!" Finally, to come full circle, you've already witnessed the gargantuan modeling job Mike Allen provided us for the cover of this amazing issue, now you can follow his step by step process in the creation of this tribute to the Toho Titans from "The War of The Gargantuas." Get ready, get set slappy, 'cause you'll see double after viewing this issue of AFM!

Next issue, AFM is going spastic for plastic, and you will too, once you get a whiff of the petroleum-packed lineup of rock-n-roll, horror, sci-fi, superheroes and car kits we've got on tap for you!

Our grand plastic parade gets off on the right note with a couple of re-issued rockers from Hawk's Weirdo Line, "The Frantics." Next we're breaking out with Revell's man of steel and then it's on to some sci-fi modeling with Monogram's "Flying Sub" as well as an illuminating take on the Moebius L.I.S. "Space Pod." Horror fans can look forward to "Nosferatu," Monarch Models creepy count along with several injected molded nightmares from Moebius', "The Invisible Man" and the "Monster Scenes" kits. Then grab a shovel and meet us at the cemetery to unearth Monogram's radical rod, "The Boot Hill Express." And what's an all styrene issue without an AFM profile on one of the hobby's most dynamic companies, Moebius Models. So whether you're into snappin' sprue off the time worn classics of yesteryear or eradicating seams out of today's hottest releases, get set for another cool issue chock full of the usual modeling mayhem from the folks who put the "Zing" in Amazing!
