Hello,
Every year during Eastern a model show is held in Speyer South Germany. The show is organized in the "Buran Halle" which is part of the "Technik-Museum-Speyer". For the people who have a chance to visit Speyer here is the url:

But lets start with some pics of the show. First the russian shuttle after which the hall is named.

the following pics were taken on saturday morning before the crowds invaded the place.

There are two piston engines too.
A Jumo 211 G and an DB 601 which stemmed from an unlucky Bf 110.

A V1 in a very large scale 1:8 I believe.

Wow, what a great place this museum must be. I heard about it some time ago when an article about it was published in one magazine here in Serbia. Would love to visit it myself. Well, some day maybe if I ever go to Germany.

And yes, lovely models too...

They have a model of the Boeing BWB? Cripes she's only a scaled flying demonstrator! Cool stuff. :lol:

Great pics Michael. That Bf109 looks superb, although I'm a little surprised the swastika is displayed, as I thought it wasn't allowed in Germany.

Great shots!

I think they're allowed in museums and for educational purposes.

What an ideal environment for a model show.

Hi Airframes,
they are allowed on original aircraft and historic pics only. You must not put it on a 1.1 replica or profiles models included! Think you need an attorny of law in Germany to see through this mess.

A civilian model: "Michael Grzimeks" Do 27 in which he crashed in the sixties in Africa during the making of the film "Serengeti musn't die". He flew into a swarm of birds and was fatally wounded in the crash.
