SMAKR WHAT'S NEW ARCHIVES

SMAKR - Scale Model Aircraft Kit Reviews!!

This page is an archive collection of all the major additions that have been added to SMAKR in the most recent couple of years (see link below if you want archives of even earlier updates). It's just a chronological summary for your interest and as each month passes the oldest month on the What's New page (usually around two months old at the time of the update/changeover) will be summarised into a single paragraph and added to this page as an archive.

The primary purpose of this page is to save loading time on the What's New page itself as well as provide a brief run down on the most recent archived additions and changes to SMAKR. Again for loading time saving reasons earlier site changes and updates can now be found on the new second archives page. It is intended that at the end of each calendar year the oldest year below will be added to the earlier archives page.
