Our popular Gaydon indoor static model show returns in just over 4 weeks time 😱And we have something very special planned to attend… Brian Hutchinson’s stunning 1:4… yes you read that right.. 1:4… scale Lancaster bomber with a span of 25.5ft!!!Pictures don’t do it justice, so we are only sharing a couple of teasers of it at an earlier stage.Unfortunately this masterpiece has come out over the UK legal weight limit to fly of 150kg, however Brian took the decision to continue to finish it as a static model as a tribute to the dambusters. With working motors, lights and sound machines, this really is something special to see in person! So head on over to Gaydon to see this along with many other stunning models up close and personal.📅 Sunday 11th October📍 British Motor Museum, Gaydon, CV35 0BJWe will also have a range of traders attending, so you can save on postage to grab those last minute kits or supplies for your winter builds & projects! 🙌🏻🎟️ Tickets are available via the British Motor Museum website here:www.britishmotormuseum.co.uk/whats-on/lma-showDon’t forget, if you are an LMA or BMFA member, you can show proof of this on the day to receive discounted entry 🎉Are you an LMA member wanting to display a model? Booking is open online now, so log into your account and head to the usual events page to book your model(s) in ✈️ More info will be shared on our social channels over the coming weeks & updated on our website event page:www.largemodelassociation.com/events/gaydon-indoor-static-model-show-11th-october-2026/#largemodelassociation #LMAGaydon #gaydon #modelshow #lancaster ...

Much Marcle show 2026 Highlights …. Kicking off the last flying show of 2026 are the three Mig 17’s from Marc Leavesley, Adam Johnson and George Shone. All three put on a fantastic display, sadly that was the only flight with them together. Marc sold his at the end of the day, fingers crossed we will see them altogether again in 2027.Don’t forget you have a chance to see all these beauties at our static event at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon, on the 11th October 2026, full details can be found on our website www.largemodelassociation.com/events You can now purchase these photos and many others through Green Hare Designs right here: share.google/gYHU1dNULegXBLdQk Note: If the specific pictures you want aren't live yet, don't worry!
