Here we go again! It just gets better every year. Lots of Free Parking. Good food that won't wreck your bank account. Loads to see.

Great, Hope to see you there. I'm on the Bring and Buy stall, just inside the doors.

There are some great bargains to be had. Last year I got a Tamiya 1/32nd Spitfire IXe for £50. There were loads of unbuilt kits with extra parts, for less than the kit. 1/32 HobbyBoss Spitfire Vb for £25. A Trumpeter Skyhawk in the same scale, with so many packs of extras included that the lit bulged. £45.
So many models, so little time.

Sorry I couldn't make it Chuck. My youngest went and broke his wrist on Friday afternoon so I have spent the weekend on nursing duties. :sad:

Agree with James; great photos of some fantastic models. The bust of Monty was the showstopper for me!
Best wishes
