Open Contest 2000

November 19th, 2000
Organization : Sabena Modellers Club
Location : Royal Atheneum, Zaventem (Belgium)

Several years ago I visited this show for the first time. It was on the occasion of the Nationals and it was the first time I tried to take pictures of models - with a conventional camera (!) and hovering only a few inches over the models. Needless to say I didn't have many great pictures.

Though this time it was a regular show, I was better armed.
What I like about this show, it's all about aircraft. Not many models in the contest though, but there were some very exotic birds on the tables.

Not many trade stands neither, most of them offering second hand kits. I didn't pick up anything, I was there strictly for my viewing pleasure.
