  Modelbouwfeest 2000
Modelbouwfeest 2000 by IPMS Brussels : the contest tables   Sept. 16th/17th, 2000
Organization : IPMS Brussels
Location : Royal Museum of the Army and Military History / Aviation - Brussels, Belgium

I didn't expect that much of this event, I don't know why.
But I went anyway. The happening was scheduled in the Aviation Museum in Brussels so it was a great occasion to see plenty of 'the real thing'.

I was surprised, there were many trade stands (while I hadn't expected any) and several club stands with beautiful models on show. There were even several visiting clubs from France and I remember seeing some great diorama's that were featured in the French aviation scale modeling magazine Replic.

In front of a real ex-Belgian Air Force C-119 was the contest table holding several unusual models. I had to make a selection because my digital camera is limited to taking only 38 images. Sigh...
