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

Just wanted to say, I really enjoyed seeing the photos of the show. I hope I can get to one in the States sometime, if we have one close enough too me. Russell

To be honest, Andy did all the work so he should receive the praises...
All I did was to push the red button...
