The MAFVA Nationals 2015
T
he annual get-together of the Miniature
AFV Association for this year will take
place at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford,
on Sunday June 21st, which happens to be
Father’s Day.
The MAFVA Nationals takes place within a large
marquee adjacent to the American Air Museum,
which is under re-organisation this year.
Visitors will have access to the rest of the
museum, with the usual activity around the vehicle
workshops, the restoration hangars, and of course
there is always something flying at Duxford.
The marquee will be laid out in the familiar format
of traders lining each side and the far end, MAFVA
HQ at the runway end facing the competition
tables, and MAFVA branches and clubs filling up the
central blocks. Whilst the traders provide a lot of
interest and help us unload our wallets, it is the club
stands that provide the life-blood of the show. Here
modellers can show off their latest efforts, and can
discuss them with club colleagues and visitors alike.
This can quite often be a marvellous resource for
information, tips and the like which will help achieve
the results you are seeking.
The other bonus visitors will have is access to the
back issues of Tankette, the Association magazine.
These will be on offer at special show prices, with
big discounts for complete volumes. And of course,
buying back issues at the Nationals will mean you
save the cost of postage!
The competitions will be run as last year building
on the team’s experience, and again the Junior
class is to be sponsored by Armourfast. Each
Junior entrant will receive an Armourfast kit, with
more going to the class winners. It has always
been an aim of the MAFVA Nationals to encourage
youngsters to participate in the hobby, and support
from the traders has always helped.
Further details of the competition and show will
be posted on www.mafva.net/Nationals.
Other questions may be sent to the organiser,
Paul Middleton at paul.middleton600@ntlworld.com
or by writing with an SSAE to 39 The Leas, Baldock,
Herts, SG7 6HZ, Great Britain.
Thanks to MAVFA for the information and images.

Dragon’s long-
awaited 1:35
scale Black
Label Saladin
armoured car
should be with
us by the time
you read this
issue of MMI.
This will be
Dragon Kit No.
3554.
This model
will feature a
one-piece slide-moulded turret, poseable
hatches, one-piece upper and lower hull
sections, two-part multimedia wheels
featuring deep tread detail, separate
tie-downs and grab handles, and detailed
suspension.
It would appear that the kit will not
provide a full interior, and judging by the
photos of the sprues, construction should
be fast and straightforward – just the way
I like it!
This is one that I am really looking
forward too, and you may be assured that
we will have a full build article as soon as
the kit is available.
Thanks to The Hobby Company Limited
for the information and Dragon for the
images.
