Hendon Model Show Sunday 11th May

[Martin H]

No probs Chris reply inbound.

nice one Nick

[McColm]

Will you be under the SIG group or Whiffers banner?
I don't have to enter any competition, just turn up with my box full of goodies?

[Martin H]

its a sig stand, but as has been said before we normally welcome any one from on here.

Dont be surprised to find that I have had to put a limit on how many model can be on the stand from each member. We only get two tables at this show so space will be at a premium.

This year I wont be taking any of the "heavies" from my collection.

Not even the Hemp Hercules? That'd really wake up some RAF folk! We'd probably have some old boy who remembers flying one....

What like the Sea Lysander with folded wings ? In all fairness to the old gentleman he probably thought it was a Swordfish or Albacore. Me and Martin just listened politely and at least it seemed to make his day 

Glad you can make it Nick

As much as id love to, and considering the fact we only have 2 tables. The Herk's would eat up to much table space.

If there were only 2 or 3 of us attending it would be a different matter.

[McColm]

Would the 1/72 Lockheed Neptune be too big?

[Army of One]

Hopefully space for my 1/144 tanker n some jets.....won't be there til the end so only the am-lunchtime slot....

[kitbasher]

Will bring a few - my big wing Flitzer and Swiss 'not a Venom' Flitzer, and a couple that'll be rendered down into real world builds in due course.   Including something that went to Hendon a few years ago and has never been out to play since.

[Martin H]

Would the 1/72 Lockheed Neptune be too big?

Possibly. All depends on what the other lads bring.

I am expecting to have to put a limit in place, say around 4-5 per member, so long as they are no bigger than a 72nd scale TSR-2 (as an example)
Any thing bigger will be treated as equivalent to 2-3 models (or more) depending on size.

[McColm]

Thanks
