OUR STAFF

Business Advisor : James Kightly

MMP was founded in 1996 by Roger Wallsgrove, to publish “Mushroom Model Magazine”. This quarterly modelling magazine was developed from “Mushroom Monthly”, a club newsletter which ran from 1985 to 1995, achieving a world-wide reputation for quality articles, fearless and honest reviews, and a great sense of humour.

MMM is A4 size, 24 pages, on high quality glossy paper with full colour covers and centre pages. It carries minimal advertising, so all 24 pages are editorial material. The magazine’s motto is “not taking serious modelling too seriously”, but at the same time we concentrate on well-researched and well-written modelling articles, honest and forthright reviews, and good photographic coverage of our chosen subjects.

The current “stable” of writers come from all over the world, and we are always happy to consider new writers and reviewers. The major emphasis of the magazine is on aircraft modelling, but all aspects of scale modelling are covered. More input from vehicle, armour and ship modellers would be very welcome.

Since 1997 the magazine has been produced in collaboration with Robert Peczkowski and Artur Juszczak (Stratus). Print quality has improved over the years, and we are always seeking to make the magazine look better, as well as being informative and fun.

MMP expanded into book publication in 1999, and since then we have built up a list of books on aircraft, aviation history and aircraft aces. MMP books are sold around the world, and have received great critical acclaim. Again, we are always happy to talk to potential new authors and contributors.

MMP is run by enthusiasts for enthusiasts – all our profits are used to improve and expand our range of publications.
