HAPPY NEW YEAR I would like to wish everybody a very happy and healthy New Year. I would also like to thank everybody who has contributed news, information and photographs etc, all contributions are really appreciated. I am looking forward to seeing what 2015 brings in the model world and particularly wondering if the manufacturing situation in China might improve giving us a more predictable and steady flow of models, rather than the many delays which have been common throughout the past year.
