2008 Shanghai Hobby Expo

[herrmill]

Here are a few photos from this weekend's Shanghai Model Expo.

Aside from seeing Italeri's new S-100, which was a very nice surprise, it was was expected: 70% helos/planes/jets, 20% buggies/cars/trucks & 5% speed/sail boats with dozens of battery/motor/radios/servo vendors & a little cheesecake thrown in. ;)

great pic's...who makes the King Tiger, 1/16?...nice...thanks for sharing

HobbyMaster makes the KT, but unfortunately its a die-cast display model. Tamiya's 1/16 Leopard was the only RC tank at the show.

Which "model" has the most hits.........

[herrmill]

I'd have to say its the most expensive model which will require the highest amount of upkeep. BTW, she's 21 & available. I know since the photographer who was asking her to pose told me later he got her number. China can be like a candy store to many but I'll just stick with my boats - am too busy to have an er ni.

And NOBODY "accidently" dropped something on the floor waiting for her to pick it up? :rolleyes:

Everytime...everytime. :) Look at the pet pix, same thing.

... okay.. the seaplane battle carrier ... what scale is it?.. what does the box say (is it an oyodo?) and where do I get one!??!!

I've been trying to find larger then 1/350 scale IJN battle carrier models that I can RC convert... I don't remeber all their 'real' names just the ships they were made from .. there was the 2 cruisers (one being the mogami.. I can't remeber the other) .. and the Ise Battleship convert

Down boys.... you'll need a see a doctor once you've caught yellow fever.

Not sure, since aside from Yankee Modelworks offers a 1/350 resin waterline kit, I've not seen anything other than 1/700 kit. I'm not up on the Japanese kit market so there may be some obscure model available. Try posting over at Modelwarship Mogami forum (http://www.shipmodels.info/mws_forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=35009&st=0&sk=t&sd=a) .

Chikuma, a Tone class cruiser, was another large seaplane carrier.

I just have to ask, would anyone happen to know who makes that great looking "Max-Shrimp" outrigger? I spent an hour on google but i found nothing :(
