Hi all
Im not a subscriber to any model mag, I just buy what looks interesting at the time. I recently bought a magazine with aggressors on the front with the title 'Eagles and falcons over the dessert' As I have a couple of aggressors to build so I thought I would pick it up. The actual article was about Israeli F-15'S and 16's and nothing to do with aggressors. I emailed the editor and his response was basically ' it was a nice picture so we used it' even though it was nothing to do with the article.
I cant understand why they would use a picture of a very distinctive set of aircraft such as the aggressors and it not have anything to do with the article
Its like putting a picture of a spitfire on the cover and the article being about a mustang.
Has any one else come across this sort of thing?
Im not naming the mag, so no nastiness please
