The NEC, Birmingham on
Saturday 16 and Sunday 17 July, where you can feast your eyes on the very
best in modelling including static and radio controlled vehicles.
Model Expo is fast becoming the No.1 choice for model enthusiasts across the

Boats or Marine Modelling, Die-cast, Model Railways, Plastic Kits, Slot Cars or
Static Models, at Model Expo ’05 you get it all under one roof!
Leading names from across the industry will be showcasing their vehicles and
skills, including CML, Tamiya, HPI, Horizon, Century, Amerang, Traxxas,
Schumacher, Hornby, Scalectrix, the BMFA and BRCA to name but a few. With a host
of displays and interactive demonstrations together with the inclusion of an

New features for this year’s event include a high-powered demonstration from

controlled replica. Russ is the British Autotest Champion, holds the Guiness
World Record for parking and regularly performs handbrake turns and doughnut

helicopters guaranteed to thrill, whilst leading marine modellers such as Jotika,
