Flanders Modelling Festival 2015

I always look forward to this model show It is one of the bigger shows in Belgium - and it has A LOT OF vendors But you have to get up early for the best bargains...   A 45 minutes drive West   Direction Antwerp   Arriving around 8AM ... and I was not the first one !   Vendors were still unpacking   Looking for interesting bargains   It pays off to get up early   ... and not only kits were in the sales bins There was reading material as well !   My first plastic of the day - at 15 euro   The 2nd vendor room   The brand new Airfix Blenheim IV was selling well Two were already sold by 8h30   The 3rd room full of vendors The event takes place in a school - and this is the cafetaria   The contest area - a little later in the day   1/72 scale Dinah - with a sexy touch   1/72 scale Fouga Magister - in Belgian markings   1/72 scale F-104 - also in Belgian markings   1/72 scale Farman... also in Belgian markings   1/72 scale DeHavilland DH-4 airliner (not in Belgian markings)   1/72 scale Heinkel He-46   1/72 scale Gotha Go-145   1/48 scale Hawker Hurricane Mk.I   1/48 scale Fw-190D   1/48 scale Cougar two seater - most likely the Kitty Hawk kit   1/48 scale Bronco   1/48 scale Fiat CR.42 - in Belgian markings   1/48 scale IAR.80   1/48 scale MiG-3   Moving over to the military vehicles 1/48 scale M4 Sherman   Lovely 1/72 scale vignette.... with a King Tiger in Winter and Summer dress   1/72 diorama "African Style"   Another small 1/72 vignette - France 1940   1/35 scale Bergepanzer Tiger P late   1/35 scale Steyr 250   1/35 scale diorama - "Always look on the bright side of life..."
