  Mosonmagyaróvár

  Hungary  


 

This is one of my favorite shows

Why ?

Because there are lots and lots of great models to see

 

I left on Friday morning

 

... for a flight to Budapest

 

And on Saturday early in the morning I took the train

 

... to Bratislava

 

It is a two hours train ride

 

Plenty of time to get a good breakfast meanwhile

 

I arrived around 10h in Bratislava

... where Miro picked me up

 

Together we drove accross the border into Hungary

... to Mosonmagyaróvár - a 30 minutes drive

 

The holy place for one weekend for all modelers in the world

 

We were welcomed in many languages

 

There were visitors from all over Europe

 

... even from all over the world

 

The contest area

 

The Aircraft categories

 

I only took pictures of models I found interesting

It was simply impossible to take pictures of all models

 

Unfortunatley I don't recall the scale of each model

... and with the high quality of the builds - it is very difficult to even try to guess the scale

 

So enjoy the mixed scale presentations

... and please accept my apologies for this small inconvenience

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favorite

 

 

 

The biggest aircraft model in the contest

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait...

I think this was my favorite

 

 

Most impressive weathering !

 

Miro treated me on a break

... with some of his friends

... including Franto, the man behind DK Decals

 

I couldn't resist getting some of his brand new releases directly from him

 

Picking up photography again

... with the Military categories

 

Again too many models

... in all popular scales

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ah...

I think I have another favorite

Very clever work !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What you can do with the classic Matchbox kit...

 

 

The Civilian vehicle categories

... with also a lot of models !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A mythical Australian road train...

... together with a mythical Australian band tour truck

 

The Figure model categories

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Magnificent presentation

 

 

 

 

Rats !

Maybe this is my favorite

 

I love small details like this

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think this was the most funny model in the contest

 

 

Owww nice !

Powerful work - suggesting much, much more...

Another favorite

 

There were many other, smaller categories

... including Science Fiction

 

... and What If

 

 

 

Some work from the Ship categories...

 

 

 

 

There were several models in the Naked/Unpainted category

 

... and lots of models in the Junior categories

 

The show is a two day event

And Miro was so kind to offer me a place to sleep overnight

After having enjoyed a quick pizza in Bratislava

 

... we talked models all evening at his place

... admiring a part of his collection

 

And on Sunday morning we left very early again for the show

Which opened at 7:00

... when it is much easier to take pictures (less people)

 

Of course there was also some shopping to be done during these two days

There was a mini market outside

... with local crafts and food

 

Most vendors were located in the adjacent school

 

In classrooms

... like Eduard

 

They premiered their brand new Fokker D.VII at this show

 

I got me the second last one

 

They also had the new yet unreleased 1/48 scale P-51 sprues on show

 

Many vendors were located in the school corridors

 

 

Ace - from Ukraine

 

... with a brand new release

 

Tetra Model Works - from South Korea !

 

... from whom I got me some excellent PE sets

 

ModellTrans - from Germany

 

Something to put next to my future Stella build

 

AZ Model

 

Scale 75

 

The Dora Wings team - from Ukraine

 

And of course there were several second hand vendors as well

... if you fancied a classic kit

 

Sunday afternoon

... Miro drove me back to Bratislava train station

 

... where I took the train back to Budapest

 

Meanwhile my girlfriend had arrived in Budapest

 

We enjoyed this beautiful city for a few days

... though not the weather

 

 

I flew back home on Wednesday

... with a lot of good memories

 

... and with some other purchases from the show

 

 

Thank you all for your interest and attention

And of course a special Thank You to Miro for helping me with transportation...

All comments, remarks, corrections, suggestions are welcome
