Flip. I really wish we had this sort of thing here in South Africa.

I need to make a trip sometime to europe or the states to attend a large show. Im sure Ill come back a very poor but happy man.

Great photos! Quality of the builds looks as good as I had thought it would be. It threw me off a bit to see so many TKs, TKSs, and 7TPs on the tables. Guess that's the home town influence showing through! They're rarities at shows over here.

I'm curious as to how the categories were broken down. I got confused seeing a whole section of armor with one lone destroyer mixed in, and another section with aircraft from bi-planes to jets.

Saw the K-5 (Leopold), but went through the pics twice without seeing a Dora. Did I miss some pics, or are we a little confused?

Did see a few of the midget subs, though. The one on the flatbed trailer looked interesting (in Pic #28), wish there was a better pic of it.

Thank you chaps I'm glad you like it.
I've posted all pictures that I have taken. There are a lot more on this shows FB page (look under Festiwal Modeli Plastikowych Bytom).
afvfan - The reason for that is that there is a series coming out calles Wrzesień 1939 or First to Fight. Every 2 weeks a new book with a new model kit comes out. It costs 20 PLN which is about 5 EUR. Inside you have a high quality kit in 1/72. Normally kit of this quality costs around 15 EUR.

I'm familiar with the First to Fight series of vehicles. As nice as they are, what we really need is for someone to come out with some high quality kits of those tanks in 1/35 scale. The ones currently available leave a lot to be desired (to put it nicely).

I know right
I have 7TP in 35 scale with some additional parts in my stash. Hoping to make it maybe this or next year

Looks like it was a good show!

[Biskup]

Ooo it was John. Meat few great people and had a chance to see some faces that I haven't seen for a while.
More and more it's being treated as a chance to meet up with friends and have a good time
