Model Cars Plus aimed at male readers interested in radio controlled or diecast models and plastic kits. Editor Neil Mead is happy to hear from new writers with a solid background in the subject. Best way in is with an article on some aspect of full-size cars rather than model vehicles. 'Most model car enthusiasts get their interest from a love of full-size cars, sports cars like Porsche and Ferrari,' he explains. 'So I'd be particularly keen to hear from anyone with that kind of expertise - perhaps someone who has been involved in testing or designing for a major manufacturer.' Contributor guidelines, available on receipt of sae, include advice on format, photos and house style, as well as payment, copyright, and reviews.
