Wellington Model Expo 2014

[Jamo]

Richard Alexander organised a display of WWI models as part of the Model Expo. Most of the aircraft models were built by Richard Alexander and Dave Johnson of Wingnut Wings, plus my modest collection of mostly 1/72.















This Junkers J.I is finished in markings from the forthcoming deluxe version. I asked Dave Johnson and he said the deluxe kits are definitely still in the pipeline, no indication of release date at this time.











This Pup was in the competition section





Lots more photos to come tomorrow

That is quite an impressive line-up of WW1 models Jamo, and all extremely well built and detailed, Richard should be congratulated for organising this wonderful display, and a big thanks to Dave and yourself for also contributing models for inclusion in the display.

Hello All

Isn't it wonderful to see increasing numbers of the period aircraft we love at model displays ?

Best wishes

    That really is impressive; literally thousands of hours labour on display, and by all appearances of magnificent quality. Thanks Jamo and looking forward to your "lots more photos tomorrow".
Cheers,
Lance

I believe there are upwards of 240 models in his collection.









Sadly Rex passed away a year or so ago.
