To start the Half Term holidays with a high flying event, the Museum is getting ready to host its biggest and best Model Show.
Over 2,000 visitors are expected to attend along with over 120 traders and clubs who will be exhibiting everything from model aircraft, boats, figures, tanks and dioramas.
The February Model Show is the largest event of its kind in the South West and is a must for all model enthusiasts. Although the majority of traders and clubs will be plastic model enthusiasts, there will also be modellers in radio controlled aircraft, tanks and boats.
Airfix will run a 'Make and Paint' workshop and sponsor competitions designed to recognise high achievement in modelling across all disciplines. Download Competition Information here.
Weather permitting, the highlight of the Show will be a flying display by the award winning BMFA (British Model Flying Association). The line-up for the display is not yet confirmed, however previous years have seen a jet powered Concorde, 1/6 scale Spitfires and Sopwith Pups taking to the sky.
The event opens at 10.00am and normal museum admission prices apply.
Airfix 'Make & Paint' Workshop - 10.00am - 3.00pm
BMFA Flying Display - 12.00noon - 2.00pm (weather permitting)
