It's that time of the year again. A few changes: there's a new venue in Houten (not far from the old one), it's a few weeks later than usual to prevent having the ESM and Scale Model Challenge (the other large model show in the Netherlands) on the same date.

I'll be there with TomZ and cpe63 on the 'What-if and Prototypes' stand.

Wow, what a splendid display, well done.  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Love the USN VTOL types, really good, and is that a 1/72 scale Vickers Winchester in the centre?
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

That's a 1/144 scale one.


It still looks huge.  ;D

It would have been as big as a B-36 in real life Kit.  I'm working on a 1/72 scale one and I think I may buy one of these 1/144 ones just so I can get things to look right.

I really did like Tom's American Mistel with a B-25 and a P-40 on top.

We had a UK SIG presence on the stand as well. At SMW, Nick had a bunch of his old models with him for recycling. Among them, an 1/144 F-23 in RAF colors which I took with me, and decided to give it one more outing before giving it a new color scheme.
