When I returned 10 minutes later to buy it - it was already gone...   A very small scale Mosquito... (2nd time in my life I see one) ... but I already have one (I bought the first one I saw a few years ago... )   An old Matchbox Wellington   I was considering to "whiffer" an old Airfix Defiant - but the price was a bit silly for what it is...   More second hand kits...   I got this one for 8 euro It was already for some time on my shopping list   Many clubs were present   Including IPMS Belgium   Awards to be won   I am still doubting about getting this Eduard special edition box ... maybe next time...   Plenty of kits from RS Models   I had never seen these Japanese kits before   Figure models for sale   And more figure kits ... including some naughty ones   The ever expanding range of Modelcollect   I always find it a drag to try to find the right colors   So these will - hopefully - make my life a little easier...   The biggest collection of Airfix ship kits I have ever seen...   A Revell/Heller Harvard looking for a new home   The local Special Hobby dealer   More paint sets - including USAAF metal skin colors... Hmmm...   The new 1/48 scale Yak-28 Firebar   Do I see some 1/48 scale Bulldogs there ?   The new Wingsy Kit Claude in 1/48 scale   It was again a fabulous day - which ended much too soon But Mr Wallet was happy when I pointed my nose direction home   Other things which followed me home Yes, I finally got the Eduard Hellcat ... I had always waited for a special weekend edition release of it - like this one   But I was most pleased with this rare Al.by military Autocar ISOBLOC type W 240 F2 bus kit   Thank you for your interest and support All comments, remarks, corrections, suggestions are welcome   Previous reports on Scale World :   by Date Location     Images Scale World 2016 : KMK : Sunday 10 September 2016 : Technisch Instituut Sint-Paulus : Mol (50 miles north east of Brussels)   Belgium   : 175   by Date Location     Images Scale World 2015 : KMK : Sunday 13 September 2015 : Technisch Instituut Sint-Paulus : Mol (50 miles north east of Brussels)   Belgium   : 110   by Date Location     Images Scale World 2014 : KMK : Sunday 14 September 2014 : Technisch Instituut Sint-Paulus   Mol (50 miles north east of Brussels)   Belgium   : 131
