This Arado was so much nicer in the flesh. Pics don't do it justice.







Stunning Botha, just stunning !

Here we go again:





Again my poor photography lets this one down. Beautiful simple, diorama...







Again simplicity. A Matchbox Dornier on the Flying Boat SIG stand.







One could almost feel the dust stinging your eyes. Really well presented Fw190 diorama.

Last ones for now. More later.





This 1:48 Hs126 was in the comp, got a couple of placings too. Very well executed model and superb presentation.







This Karas was on one of the French club stands. Jaw dropping attention to detail and incredible presentation. When I grow-up, I want to build models like this !!

More later today.

Back again, here's a few others that caught my eye.





Very nicely finished F-8 in the comp.












I luv Italian camouflage, of course I forgot to take a picture of the beautiful SM79 just along from the What If SIG stand, ahh well, these to Macchi's were quite superb.

More in a minute.

A couple more What Ifs









A 1:48 thunderbolt floatplane and a 1:32 Stuka with something of an identity crisis from the 21st Centuary Models kit.

Back to 'Real World' modelling now:



Surprising number of Monogram B-24's on the club stands and SIG displays. This one was fully re-scribed and finished as the famous 'Flak Alley'.







Another superb build on the Seaplane SIG display. A 1:72 Hasegawa 'Mavis' in pre-war finish. This one took the Japaneses SIG Trophy too.







Yet another product of the those terribly inventive folks from Humberside. The level of detail on this one was simply excellent.








We saw quite a few of these US Army Beechcraft 'spooks'. There were two really nicely built ones on this club stand.

Some great work there......I loved the Buccaneer and have to admit.....only saw the Marlin/swordfish second time I looked...who else gonna admit that...? Love the P47 flaotplane to

Some very nice stuff for sure...Love the 'spook' a very neat family of a/c....seems you can glue bits anywhere and still get it right !

Missed that floatplane P-47

Didn't miss the Swedish Bucc though

Love the Swedish Bucc!

Aaagggghhhhh! The Blackburn Blackburn! Surely a leading contender in the 'World's Ugliest Aircraft' Contest?

Aaagggghhhhh! The Blackburn Blackburn! Surely a leading contender in the 'World's Ugliest Aircraft' Contest?

I would say the Swift and Dart that preceded the Blackburn were uglier but YMMV.

Did Blackburn ever make an aircraft that wasn't "pugnacious"?

[ChernayaAkula]

Love the Jug on floats! Very, very cool! 

Whoa, almost missed the sawfish on the Swedish Bucc!

Thanks for sharing your pics!
