Tamiya Model Magazine Reviews

Awesome print magazine, but please fix the current version it crashes continuously...........I cannot access any of my purchases.

I have paid for a 6 issue subscription that is totally worthless because TamiyaModelMagazine crashes every time I start it. No support from the publishers either. Intolerable shame.

Love the idea of these apps. I bought all three Modeling apps. And all 3 crash.

I only ordered one back issue. Everytime i try to download it for the first time, TamiyaModelMagazine crashes. On the pad and the phone btw...

Pay the $2.99 for TamiyaModelMagazine and it will show you that you can buy current and back issues for $4.99. Seems to me that this could be free - if you're going to charge full price for a downloaded copy of the magazine. The only saving grace is that the preview feature shows the first few pages of the magazine. I figured it would give some additional reviews, tips, or something. Certainly not worth the money in my opinion.

TamiyaModelMagazine is incompatible with the iPad 2. It only allows you to turn a couple of pages and then it crashes. It finally worked ok on the first iPad, but it can't handle the iPad 2.

Crashes.
And I can't register, to use it on 2 devices - every time it says me "Can't connect. Please check your internet connection", but it's connected (downloading works fine)!

I want my money back! And I'll open a case for this, as I bought 3 issues and I can't read even a page, it crashes at oppening any of them.

I loved the magazine don,t get me wrong. the fact that I cannot log on or contact anybody to buy more is frustrating and will send me to deleting this ap very soon if I do not get any support.

Bought this for the ease of access to the magazine. Worked for the first few days but now crashes upon opening every time since. C'mon on!!!! Please provide a fix for all of us that have purchased TamiyaModelMagazine!!!!!!!

Every time I start TamiyaModelMagazine , even after a restart of the iPad, TamiyaModelMagazine refuses to startup without crashing.

It's very slow to load a magazine and once loaded you can only navigate page by page. Each issue of the magazine needs a proper table of contents and it needs a way to navigate to a specific page. Also, the photographs aren't particularly high definition and zooming a page to see some particular detail in a photo just results in a pixelated picture.

I have enjoyed the latest version. Pictures are good resolution when enlarged. Navigation improved over previous versions. Need a decent wi Fi. All my problems were when I had bad connection.

Nothing like getting a magazine for a reduced price with an interface that's very similar to paging through an actual magazine.

Unfortunately, issue 169 has 177's cover, and issue 177 starts to load only to give a blue screen which then hangs the program.

This is hands down the best way to keep up with the scale model world. In depth articles and reviews of the best models coming out. For me, reading on my iPad makes it even better allowing me to zoom in to look at the details. I recommend this to all that love plastic models.

Been building tamiya models for a couple years now and finally have a subscription...so many helpful tips and reviews.

Excellent magazine, no surprise really, excellent products too. Have been building them for 40 years and they are as good now as they have ever been. Rare in this world, where so many things are being cheapened.

Keep it up!

The update did the trick, which tells me the developers are listening. No more crashes on this version of TamiyaModelMagazine & they have some links to vendor websites. My only ask at this point would be to have specific links to the exact product advertised v.s. just a company link, where applicable.

I have been reading the Tamiya Magazine for over a year and have not been disappointed. I receive the digital version on my iPad and really enjoy the articles thoroughly. The digital version is great as with less paper around the house, it is even better. The price isn't bad considering the content and the advertisements have opened a lot of doors for me as it allows me to find what I want and I can shop around.

If you're a scale model enthusiast, these publications are a tremendous resource. Outstanding photography, kit build tips and tricks and other information make this a no-brainer for experienced modelers and newbies alike. Plus there's the promise of instant access to back issues so you can read up on a kit that was released several years ago. The current catalog is limited but as I understand it, this will change, making this the best value for a publication of this kind.

Enjoy the format and my wife likes the fact that I don't have dozens of past issues by my reading chair. Wife happy, life happy!

A nice way to read the magazine.
