discussion Model Expo Italy in Verona

[Andy the Sheep]

What a wonderful show, but could you get around it all in just one day?
Pete

Yes, Peter. I think it's possible if you focus on your main interests and pay just a courtesy visit to the others.
Anyway, a two days visit allows you to enjoy the town too, and Verona is pretty nice.

It seems I'm always late to the party Andrea. That looks to be one heck of a show and including so many different aspects of our hobby. Fantastic pictures and many thanks for the one of the Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 floatplane. Sorry to hear you couldn't find the stand with the Friul tracks again though. Thanks again Sir!!!

To be honest, Allen, while taking the W.29 picture I was thinking "maybe Allen will appreciate it". Glad I was right! :smiling3:

You certainly were correct my friend. I loved it!!! It's one of my favorite planes and the reason I got into the Wingnut Wings kitsets. Thanks again Andrea!!!...

Thank you, Andrew.
In the past two editions not so many models were "under cover". This years almost all small and medium scale models were under a transparent box and, considering the large number of visitors, many with children and/or dogs, IMO that was the correct decision.
Just as an example of passion driven behaviour the models had to go through, I saw a rather mature man landing a kiss on the 1/32 F104 (see winged things section); he was very delicate, but I guess the modeller felt a cold shiver down his spine!
Unfortunately it was a nightmare for me and all those who wanted to take pictures with non professional cameras/smartphone. In fact I had to work a bit on the pictures published here to correct, as much as I could, the weird effect of a perspex surface between the model and the camera.

Just managed to have a proper look on my laptop. A really top-notch set of photos. Understand why they put them in perspex boxes but as you say doesn't help with photos.

The RC SM79 is pretty special. I have a hobby shop a short walk from home and unfortunately his main focus is not kits or the associated extras, rather RC is his thing - car and in particular planes and some very big planes.... like the SM 79. Some of the ones hanging from the ceiling are actually jet powered.....yes that's right....jet powered!!

Thanks again for sharing.

ATB.
