Title says it all - anybody have links to some good coverage? Always fun to see what is in the background of the Merit booth, etc..

I didn’t go but I was in Chicago that weekend. I’m so pissed I didn’t t realize it was up there. I was too busy taking U-boat photos.
I would like to see some photos as well.

I used to love visiting the U-505 and the Burlington Zephyr at the Museum of Science and Industry. Sadly both were exposed to the elements. I know they enclosed the Zephyr and made a really cool exhibit out of it, but did they enclose the U-Boat?

The U505 is indeed inside now, restored and in a magnificent venue.

I don’t want to derail Diggers topic any more an I already have. I was going to do a little write up on my trip and post some photos in the off topic section later on. I had a neat experience so I thought I would share it.
Has anyone come across a good link for the hobby show? All I can come up with are RC car photos and such.
