For the fourth APMA meeting of the year we had a diverse and interesting display of models . Not only did we have the nominated theme display ‘Work in Progress/Shelf of Doom OR Refurbished Models’ and models in the general display but we also had an impromptu display organised by Lindsay Charman about North American NA-16s, Texans, Harvards, Yales, SNJs, Wirraways and any derived types (including the Ceres and Boomerangs). Check out the gallery below to see these and all the other models on the display tables this month.
