Scale Model World 2021

Got one on my NHS app on my phone. Not too difficult if you know your NHS number.

ill second the question though,  the IPMS site was a pain to read, and very unforthcoming on the subject.   
and it may be a major decider in the go / no go options.

John Tapsell has made the reasons even clearer in the ScaleModelWorld blog on 26th October.
https://ipmsuk.org/category/scale-modelworld/

The requirements are laid out here.

All that said, I will be writing to the IPMS Committee about the way they present info and how hard it is to find.

I suspect you'll be flogging a dead horse there Nick, but worth a try anyway.

No matter what 'they' say I'll be reserving my right not to wear my mask sometimes because of my asthma.

You're perfectly entitled to Kit as that comes under the heading of a "Medical Exemption"

Ah, cheers Nick  So 4pm it is. Should just be a short stroll from the hotel

Oh dear, it's happened again!!  This time it's going up to Carlisle to support Madame R's mother (93) who has damaged her leg and ankle.  One of my brothers in law is going to be with her for a while, then we take over .        So I miss Telford yet again!!  Never mind, one of these days....................  Take lots of photos and enjoy the festivities on my behalf.   Maybe I'll see you all next year............unless you let me know in advance that you are coming to Hereford-------the coffee/tea/first pint is on me if you do.

Started drawing up my "wants" list 

[Steel Penguin]

welp, I will say that I may have to eat a little humble pie.

last Tuesday evening I followed the link above to the NHS / gov web site, and put in the asked for info....  questions that were asked so that you can only give the correct answer, and only relevant questions ( I experienced a flash of the mandatory training on Caldecott principles    )  and today my COVID passport arrived.
before the 5th working day ( so early)  and easy to understand...
I am rather impressed. 
All I have to do now is make certain I bring it with me, and don't forget it like I do with the camera most years

See, told you.

The initial floor plans are up on the website and the list of exhibitors. (this will likely change a number of times before the show, but it gives you a general idea)

Only 80 traders this year so its down to just the two main halls, and that includes the Competition, Whif and PC are in Hall 2

Cheers Geoff.

I'm posting me shopping list here, not for people to try to sell me their stashes, but so they know what I'm on the hunt for.

Airfix Hunter FGA9
Airfix Lightning F3
Airfix Lightning F6 - I have enough F2As and the F6 is the same kit but with an additional sprue specifically for the F6, thus this is the kit to have
AZ - Saro SR53 Single Seat
Hasegawa Lightning F6 - either early or late tooling
Novo Fairey Delta II

Matchbox or Revell rebox Canberra PR9
Freightdog Firestreak and Red Top missiles

Sword Lightning single seaters

Whirlybird - Hawker P.1121
Whirlybird - Supermarine 545
The Maintrack Project X ones are also desirable.

KP - Sukhoi Su7
Cooperativa - Sukhoi Su-9
Leoman Su-11
PM - Sukhoi Su-15
PM F100 Super Sabre
No, I'm not going mad.  These are strictly kitbash fodder for various projects in mind - EE P6 and possibly a two seater trainer, my interpretation of the EE P1B Flattening, and the Supermarine 545.  Thus all must be v.cheap.    Also willing to go halves with anyone who wants the spares I don't need.


Decals (Hit Paul Davies)
Xtradecal - Various Lightning sheets
Modeldecal - Ditto
Kits at War K7/14 RAF Twins - Boston, Ventura, Mosquito


I think that's it.  If some kind soul can print a copy and pass it along please, as I'm very likely to forget!

Edited to add extra stuff as I remember it.

I have a Novo/Maquette FD.2

May I suggest Lee you avoid the PM F-100 like the plague and seek out the cheapest possible FROG F-100?

The PM Hun is a total dog in so, so many respects.  I realise it is for chopping up but it really, really is awful.
