Hi All,

ECHE #12 is on again on the 4th and 5th July 2026.
Competition theme for this year is "Under New Management" - which is a very broad topic of a familiar model in different colours, markings, livery etc eg a Hot Wheels Formula One Car, a USN X-Wing Starfighter or a captured tank/plane in different markings.
Flyer posted here.

More info to come over the next few months.

Cheers Tony C
