Andy Brazier (betheyn) has compiled a report of the recent Scale Model World show held in Telford, England. There are 9 pages of photos, a real feast for the eyes!

Hi Andy and Jean-Luc

Many thanks for putting this together for all of us who couldn't attend. It looks like it was quite a show!

Some amazing models on display - the Ju 88 and Caudron are just stunning! And in the vendors section, the Airfix 1:24 Mosquito! Well, it was going to have to be something big that could even hope to upstage Tamiya's new Spitfire!

All the best

nice pictures of the show and it was good to hear different languages being spoken at the event,so people came from far and wide.

i have to say though i was disappointed with the airfix mossie..............
i cant put my finger on it but it didn't cry out to me to be bought.
i love mosquitos but i've changed my mind about buying one now at full RRP,i would rather buy the 1/48 resin short sunderland.

Hi Paul

I wonder if the Mossie is just too big for many people? I certainly haven't got room to build one, let alone display the finished item.

All the best

To be honest, Andy did all the work so he should receive the praises...

All I did was to push the red button...
