The IPMS(UK) Avon Model Show was
held in August of this year (2003). Here are some pictures of the contest
entries which I took on my visit to this show. I was very impressed by the
standard of models, not just in the contest but also in the main exhibition
hall. There were a great many subjects covered in all scales and not just
aircraft. Personally I am always interested in the modern jet models and this
show didn't disappoint.

My two favourites
from the contest entries were the 1/48 Hasegawa A-7 Corsair which had a
wonderful paint job! It just looked fantastic (apologies for not naming the
modeller), and the 1/72 Victor K2 which was well made (including dropped
flaps and extended airbrakes) and very well displayed. I think the
mirror-on-the-base is a great idea and having seen it on a few other models it
definitely improves the display by offering more visibility of the finished
article.
