Model Meet 2000
Hosted by the RAAF Amberley Scale Modelling Club at the RAAF Base
Amberley on Sunday 5th November 2000. This was a good opportunity to get up
close to some RAAF aircraft. The day got under way after meeting at the
front gate and setting off to the 23SQN hangar. With the recently restored
Boston and the Catalina currently undergoing restoration on display at the
hangar. Outside there was also a CAC Sabre, GAF Mirage III0 and the
legendary F111-G A8-274. Plus some military vehicles on display similar to
what’s being used in the INERFET campaign in East Timor. A model display
and competition was also held during the course of the day as well as
workshops on airbrushing and weathering. Overall it was a good day and I’m
looking forward to the next one. IPMS showed off the skills of it’s club
members by winning in the following areas.
