Thanks very much for your efforts to create this fantastic thread.

All of the models on display were truly remarkable... I could not see how easy it would've been to judge the entries!

Well done to all.

Many VERY nice models. But that Gold Leaf Lotus 49 is SUPERB!! Amazing. Hard to believe it is a model. Mark can take a kit and just bring it a level where the rest of us are just looking like beginners.:banghead:

Just one comment regarding the new 1:12 MG Models Lotus 79. Maybe it is the angle of the pictures :banghead: – maybe it is just me :screwy: – but the proportions of the bathtub looks wrong to me. Too narrow and too wide. :uhoh:

I'm afraid it's you!! This kit was meticulously researched with the help of Classic Team Lotus..it's spot on. I figure the camera doesn't help, this pic was shot at the slight wide angle on the zoom...trust me, this thing is quite something...:)

Great pics....:naughty:

I knew about this show, but i start a new job where i have to concentrate on.I can slap my face i did not came to Telford.

How about 2009?? Is the show again??

Regards Roger

Hello Roger,
The 2008 show was the last of it's kind for a while. Rising costs forced it's cancellation.
The show Chinamalc is referring to is the IPMS Scale modelworld show held in November at Telford international centre. The Modelsport show was held next door in the Holiday Inn.
Les Garagiste will at SMW this November along with some other car clubs. We'll also be at Modelissimo, sometime early August, at Donington Park's museum.

Every model you took a picture of is a contest winner in my opinion.I too wish i had a show like that here in michigan.the "Motor City"?

Great cars; great shots - especially under show conditions.

Some of those cars look like they're mainly serving as platforms for lots and lots of colorful decals.

Many thanks for the fantastic post!

Very nice looking show. Some superb builds!!! That's what we are starting to do with the Ferrari Expo-Strictly 43rd Revival-Chicago over here in the states every year. JUST RACE CARS AND SPORTSCARS+ a few race bikes. Sports car modeling is alive and well!!

Can't help but question anything from MG :( That 1/12th Lotus 49 is amazing. Does anyone have more closup photos of it?

I found this one.

I visited Modelsport last year, while on holiday in the UK - what a fantastic day out! Favourite memory = cruise the displays, check out the stalls, sit down and enjoy a pint of good ale while watching the GP, then go back inside and do it all again!. Does it get better than that?

Great pictures!
Where can you get this Benetton B191 from?
http://images18.fotki.com/v329/photos/8/823979/6101750/IMG_0628-vi.jpg
Looks like 1:20 to me, because of the small model beside it, that should be 1:43.
Any help getting this model is highliy appreciated!

@ferrari2K

I think its a B190 and 1/43 cause the bigger cars must be 1/20.

I have a Hasegawa Benetton B190 in 1/24....:naughty: and it looks the same.

Maybe i am right...

Just to be sure, I am not talking about the green/red/blue one on the left front, I am talking about the yellow one on the rear right ;)
As there are 2 sizes of cars on the picture I am assuming the scale is 1:43 and 1:20, but I cannot be sure, there is nothing to compare size with :)

The photos show two scales - 1/43rd and 1/20th. I believe the Benetton B191 was from Studio 27.

Thanks for your comments guys.
