IPMS UK USAF SIG

Editorial

Saturday, 19th November 2011

SMW has come and gone, and a great weekend it was too. Whilst the planned SIG display had to be changed due to logistical issues, we still managed to put together a wide and interesting selection of models.

There was not much in the way of new USAF material on sale, but a few bargains were found and it was a great excuse to catch up with friends.
