Moson Show 2017

In my humble opinion ... this is the best show in the world   I flew to Prague already a few days earlier to visit my girlfriend   And I took the train south   ... very early on Saturday morning   I enjoyed breakfast   And four hours later I arrived in Bratislava   Our good friend Miro was so kind to arrange for transport ... to the exhibition in Hungary, half an hour drive away   It was the first time the show was in this new location   The local sportshal   Sure plenty of seats to take a rest !   The aircraft categories 1/72 scale : Lockheed C-130E Hercules     1/72 scale : Junkers Ju-88A-4   1/72 scale : North American PBJ-1D Mitchell   1/144 scale : Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird   1/48 scale : Messerschmitt Me-110C-4   1/48 scale : Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop   1/48 scale : PZL P-7/I-1   1/48 scale : Douglas SBD-3 Dauntless   This was a fantastic build and display   1/48 scale : Brewster F2A-2 Buffalo   1/72 scale : Lockheed F-104G Starfighter   1/72 scale : Sukhoi Su-7   1/72 scale : Heinkel He-70K   1/72 scale : Polikarpov I-16   1/72 scale : PZL P-11   1/72 scale : Grumman TBM-3 Avenger   1/72 scale : Brewster Buffalo Mk.I   1/72 scale : Spitfire Mk.Vb Trop   1/72 scale : Regianne R.2001   1/72 scale : Weiss WM-23 Ezustnyil   1/32 scale : Sopwith Pup   1/32 scale : Messerschmitt Me-109G   1/32 scale : Messerschmitt Me-109K   1/32 scale : North American F-100D-25 Super Sabre   1/72 scale : "Brindiamo all'affondamento !"   1/144 scale : Heinkel He-219A-2 ... indeed 144 scale !   1/72 scale : MH 60S Knighthawk   1/72 scale : Kamov Ka-26   1/144 scale : "The Eastern Route - Africa 1930's"   1/48 scale : IA-58 Pucara   1/48 scale : Macchi C.205 Veltro   1/48 scale : "TF-104G Last Flight"   1/200 scale : Kawasaki C-1   1/72 scale : North American P-51 Mustang   1/72 scale : Messerschmitt Me-109G   There were also many entries in the military vehicles categories Roughly estimated, as many as in the aircraft categories My apologies for not labeling these pictures There were just too many of them ... and it takes me too much time           Something quite unusual... RAK 120mm mortar on a Marder 1A3 - a 2014 demonstrator - in 1/72 scale           My favorite diorama ... not the highly realistic play with water               Great idea ! Note the use of the helmet...                     Note the Sherman turret !       Each year there are also more and more entries in the civilian vehicles categories Ranging from trucks...   ... to apocalyptic cars   To beautiful classics...       A dog's got to do...             Oh how I wish !     Michael Knight was in fact an entry in the figure categories ... even though the car takes most of the attention Well - in MY universe anyway                           These two models below were really little works of incredible art     It was the first time I saw this category H-81 : The brush painted category !             There were even several vehicles in this "Brush painted" category     The Youngster categories (13-15)   And the Junior categories (16-18)   And a very nice entry in the Paper categories   Time to have a look at all the vendors   ... with many tempting products from all over the world   Mark I Models - from the Czech Republic   With their 144 scale Curtiss Hawks making their debut   The good people from Hataka   Also many clubs were attending this show   Visitors can pin their home location on a map   Outside were possibilities for refreshments   So I had a beer with our good friend Miro   More vendors were located in the rooms and corridors of a nearby school   Brengun   RS Models ... with Robert hiding behind his new post cards   Fly   Lukograph     A lot of Hobby Boss kits in promotion - 40 % !!! Two rows of boxes !   SBS Models were premiering their new macchi MC.72   But it was getting late ... and time to leave Hungary   Miro arranged for transport back to the trainstation in Bratislava   Where I took the train back to Prague   I enjoyed a small dinner   To help pass the time during the four hour train ride   Arriving in Prague late in the evening   And flying back home the next day   With a thing or two in my luggage   It was again a splendid day Thank you all for your interest and support And a special Thank You to Miro for helping me with transportation...
