Hi Allen
Many thanks for the report. There are some fantastic builds on show there!
Were there any surprises among the new kits on display? The Revell P-39 should be a huge hit if it's good.

All the best

Hi Rowan
The there was a couple of kits/bits that peaked my curiosity. looks like Revell are had a 1/48 P-47N with different decals but no box to be seen.
There was a Czech firm there called HpH Models with some amazing 1/18 scale resin engines for the P-51 and Bf 109 (DB605) they also had on show an impressive 1/32 full resin and glass fibre kit of the PBY-5A Catalina which is in progress along with some others. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos but I did pick up leaflet. Their website is

Hi Allen
Yes - HpH Models are stunning! I've been very tempted by their Avia B.534 and P-63 Kingcobra for some time.
All the best

I picked up the Packard Merlin. It looks stunning and I'm going to get stuck into it sooner rather than later. Although with my present slower than a snails pace of getting anything done other than work it might be a while
