Mini marvels take to the skies, land and water this weekend ready for inspection.

The annual Southern Model Show at Headcorn Aerodrome on Saturday, September 8 and Sunday, September 9 will see all kinds of vehicles making tracks, as crowds gather to enjoy the spectacle - around 12,000 are expected.

Held in association with the Maidstone Model Flying Club, model fans will be able to see off-road two wheeled and four wheeled buggies, cars, tanks and other fighting vehicles, trucks and motorbikes performing some fast and furious racing.

But it's not just the air and land that will be filled with craft as paddle steamers, battleships, lifeboats and submarines join other water vessels taking to the high seas - or the large water tank - to show some mighty messing about on the water but on a small scale.

The weekend is the third event to be held at Headcorn Aerodrome over the summer, following on from the Battle of Britain Air Show and the Combined Ops Military and Air Show, which attracted crowds of more than 10,000.

The showground will be packed with traders for model enthusiasts, whether professional or a beginner, and other there will be displays and rides to try.
