It was the IPMS (UK) Scale Modelworld Show in Telford this weekend just gone. It's the place for sneak peeks and, like last year, news on new releases. So, after the news that Hornby had bought up Airfix, it was touch and go if they'd be making an appearance. More to the point, news on what's happening, when can we expect the Nimrod, Mk1 Spitfire, and the amazing new RNLI Lifeboat.
Well, 'our Trev', Trevor Snowden, was drafted in at the last minute to man a stand, and a select of parts were on display. Not to the same standard as last year, but a presence and chance to hear "from the horses mouth" what's going on.
More news and reports can be found on the usual forums:
