The original EMM 72 was a book published in French, English and
Italian. It was published in 1985 (France) and 1988 (England, U.S. and
Italy). We listed 5,900 1/72 scale kits and models with over 500 color
photos of box art, built models, etc. I have a small supply of the
American hardcover edition which sold for about $29 95 available for
$15.

In 1996 we started publishing  ESM 72 as a quarterly magazine because
kit listings became out of date by the time each issue hit the mails.
Each issue is about fifty pages of 8 1/2" x 11" three hole punched with
listings for aircraft, vehicles and a third subject ranging  from
artillery to ships and boats. Vol.1-7 were strictly b&w, Vol.7 had
color front covers, Vol.8 and since then color front and back covers.
Binders are available for each volume. Subscription is $25 in the U.S.,
$30 elsewhere.

Over the years we have covered kits by kit manufacturer, aircraft by
manufacturer, vehicles by country and two volumes of specific
catagories such as WWI, Training Aircraft, etc.

We also manufactur cast resin (and one injecton molded) kits under the
MAI label. Catalog of all MAI/ESM 72 products available on request.

Thanks you for the suggestion to send review copies to internet
magazine producers. As soon as I can get a list of mailing addresses
I'll do just that.

Our databases for all 1/72 scale subjects have been mentioned before,
especially when discussing how many kits and models have been produced.
I am always happy to help anyone who wants to know if something has
been produced in 1/72 as long as it isn't somethng along the lines of
"Please e-mail me a list of every 1/72 kit of WWII German aircraft ever
produced", a request that I actually received a couple of years back.

Once again, thank you for your interest. I hope that it helps you to
decide to subscribe.

Happy modeling,
