More than half the year is gone yet our monthly APMA meetings are still going strong. It was also good to see our friends and great sponsors of the APMA Start Hobbies back in the room this month with their usual fine selection of kits and modelling supplies. On the tables this month was a quite eclectic array of models on show with dual themes of ‘Night’ and the letter ‘A’. Check them out below!
