Dortmund Model Show

Istvan Illes invited my family up to the Dortmund model show this year.  This event is equivilent to the Nationals but here there are RC planes, boats, trains, and just about any type of accessory for each type of hobby.  There was even a place for kids to do a quick kit build and a place to do some craft's with hot glue.  I have never seen so many outstanding models and diorama's in one place but you can tell that the modeling hobby is strong in Europe.  If you are ever in Germany during the time of this event you should  take a day and visit it is well worth it.  There is a photo of the new Eurofighter with the weapons that will be in the kit 

1/32nd scale Revell Tornado.  This is the typical level of detail that was present.  This was one of my favorites of the show.
