This show is my annual pilgrimage for all things modelling. Three and a half aircraft hanger sized halls rammed with vendors and displays, it's supposedly the biggest plastic model show in the world - certainly in Europe. Two days of checking out what the modelling world has to offer and catching up with building buddies from the UK (oh, and evenings of beer and curry). Needless to say, it is primarily military stuff but, as you'll see below, there's enough shiny things to keep the gearheads happy - enjoy!

The paint was actually flawless but my crappy camera couldn't cope with the deep metalflake and a pearl top coat.

Glad you liked them Jim, the show is in Telford - somewhere near the middle of the UK.

The builder had really put the hours in with that Greeves, apart from the basic outline of the parts pretty much everything had been improved or replaced completely.
