Hi,

 

When was the new style of RM with the harder back cover introduced?

 

Thanks

From January 2005.

 

But as well as the cover, over the last few years they have developed a whole new style, bit by bit. If you compare a 2003 copy with a 2010 one it looks like a different magazine, but if you've had it over that period you'd not notice so readily. The cover of the latest Continental Modeller now has lost the white framing; I'd not be surprised if the RM follows suit before the end of the year.

Here's an additional comment/thought for the day: why does the modeller persist with a page size slightly larger than A4? It causes some problems with my filing system.

Ahh, Mr Badsworth wants the P4 edition rather than the 00 edition

I'd never really noticed it wasn't A4, just checked! Out of interest it went A4 size January '72.

makes it stand out in a crowd of generic A4 sized products... i've worked with a couple of teams in different places who made sure their publications were always either slightly taller or wider than A4.

I thought that was the whole idea.

 

To make it a nuisance to copy, so that you will buy each issue rather than say a club, buy one copy & have everyone photcopy/scan the relevant bits of interest.
