Shropshire Model Show, RAF Museum Cosford 2013

Another year rolls by and once again it was time for the Shropshire Model Show, organised by the Shropshire Scale Modellers held at RAF Museum Cosford. Photos from last year's show can be seen here, here and here. A very enjoyable show enhanced by the fact its hosted at the museum so there's always plenty on models and exhibits to look at as you wonder round the site.

Purchases were again relatively modest, a few 1/48 WWII Soviet aircraft and not much else apart from a kit plus brushes etc. from the Airfix stand. It was interesting to see models not yet released (a 1/48 Gloster Javelin for instance).

My photographs are up (or more actually - down) to my usual standards when I remembered to take them.
