The Third Automodellismo Show took took place on 5th May 2013
Although it was a Bank Holiday, where potential visitors and exhibitors could have been elsewhere, many turned up. So thanks to all who came along; those who bought their 'interesting' full-size cars and to the Village Hall Committee for providing the infrastructure.
Inside...
The Automodellismo Award for the best model display, sponsored by Paul Fitzmaurice of little-cars.com, was awarded this year to MRO F1 Engineering, masterminded by Mark Oakley, who builds Formula 1 cars in 1:12 to exacting detail |
