Our Town Model show

On Sunday I had the opportunity to go Our Town Model Show, our annual local model show here in Newcastle. There were not just plastic aircraft models, but models of all shapes and scales and made from anything imagineable. There were even  RC boats and ships operating on an indoor pond and RC cars running around a racetrack outside. Very entertaining while eating lunch.  The photo above for those who haven't met or ever seen a pic of him is our own "Motty" manning the Hunter Scale Models Society stand.

Above are a Classic Airframes Vampire, yet to receive its canopy and a close up of the prime mover from a SA-2 transporter.

Above is a Belgian F-16 in celebratory colours. Below are a Corsair and Firefly on the left and a Boeing P-26 on the right. All these I believe are Motty's work.
