Though most of us work in solitude, building our models in workshops hidden away from public view, it's great that we can enter daylight once in a while and get together with other like-minded individuals. The summer months bring us a surfeit of events that allow us to either view other models at a show dedicated to such things, or the full sized machines that so fascinate us in the first place. This month you'll find extended features on two important events that cover both bases, those events being the MAFVA National Championships from Duxford and the now famous Tankfest from the Tank Museum at Bovington. Dorset. The Model Armoured Fighting Vehicle Association's annual event is a real pilgrimage for fans of military vehicles combining as it does, a large model display and competition and a fine collection of full sized vehicles. both static displays and as part of an in-action package in Duxford's arena. For this issue. Alan Firbank took time away from the country's airshows to visit the event and brings us a comprehensive round up of the show's highlights - of which there were many! In his feature you'll find plenty of shots from the large competition, as well as some very fine images from the displays that could be found on the airfield and in the very dusty arena!
