Scale World 2019

This is one of my favorite local shows The theme for this year : The Israel Defense Forces   It is only an half hour drive for me   The show takes place in a local school   It is organized by KMK - or the Blueshirts ... one of the local clubs   The contest was in one of the classrooms   Sadly I didn't have my old tripod with me ... as I had forgotten it on the train after my visit to Pilsenkit 2 weeks ago   So all pictures are courtesy of my smartphone ... hence a lower quality of the images   Starting with the aircraft categories...                 The smallest - and only 144 scale entry...   Diorama's - with aircraft           A Blenheim crash in Belgium - May 1940 ... with the (then young) great aunt of the builder posing in front of it       This show is popular with military modelers ... hence a bigger number of entries in these categories   1/72 scale entries...             The bigger scales ... mostly 1/35 scale             "Fear of the real bear" A diorama with a good sense of humor   Note the real bears... ... and the running men     The figure categories...     This is where the poor quality of my smartphone images becomes noticeable               It's nice to see more and more animal models     Much to my surprise there were a lot of entries in the civilan vehicle categories     I couldn't pass this by without taking dozens of pictures           As usual, there were only a few models in the ship categories ... though they were original       The junior category   The naked kit category ... of unpainted models   Of course I also spent some time in the other 3 spaces of the show   ... filled with many club stands               ... and many vendors Of course             Discounts making life difficult     Considering building trucks for a moment...       Some rare kits ... including a Beech RU-8D resin kit     There were several book vendors...   And vendors were you could find all kind of tools and paints...         I was surprised this brand new release was already available at the show ... at 18,50 euro - it followed me home   Something to drive around the pilots of my 1/72 scale WW-I aircraft   Of course my WW-2 pilots also liked to have some transportation   The odd buy of the month Not sure why I got it it - perhaps because of the rarety and the cheap price I guess...   The show focusses more on military vehicles and figures ... what explains my haul ... but still I drove home a happy man   As usual time flew by again Luckily I got some good memories back in return ... and some kits - and some crappy pictures (for which I still apologize) Thank you all for your interest and support All comments, remarks, corrections, suggestions are welcome   Previous reports on Scale World :   by Date Location     Images Scale World 2017 : KMK : Sunday 10 September 2017 : Technisch Instituut Sint-Paulus   Mol (50 miles north east of Brussels)   Belgium   : 93   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
