Sorry gang, not going to be there. Overdid it a bit yesterday in the heat. See my blog for details.

Had a great time at the show today - nice to see everyone again, and meet some new faces too. 
The weather stayed nice for the majority of the day, just getting a bit blowy with a hint of rain towards the end. Then on the way home I hit two patches of rain, but then I knew from the weather report in the morning that that was going to happen, so it was no great shock.

Haul from the show below. Almost all very good bargains and none of them excessive.

Heller 1/72nd Alouette III (yes, another one, but this one's got skis and Securite Civile markings) - £5

HobbyCraft 1/72nd CF-100 Mk.4B - £12   
Revell 1/72nd Dornier Do 335 A-1a Pfeil (very slightly part-started) - £5

Some of the pics of the SIG stand at the Show last weekend.



First, the whole stand, and then, from right to left, smaller sections. I'll post more pics later I expect.











Fred, you'll see your B-28.5 positioned in front of my Dalgety. I thought it would add a suitable bit of Oz-ness to the stand.

That's a good looking display.   

Thanks for taking the 28.5 Kit.  I hope it behaved.
My visit to the UK has been postponed due to Mrs z's medical issues so lucky old you get to take it visiting some more.   
When we are coming over, or if you want to pass it back before then, i'll send you my parents address in Sussex to post it to.

[NARSES2]

Well done gents, good display  andd thanks for the photos Kit
