This year's exhibition by the Society for Scale Modellers will have as main themes the 60th anniversary of Victory In Europe (VE) Day - 1945, the bicentenary of The Battle Of Trafalgar - 1805 and the 440th anniversary of The Siege Of Malta - 1565.

The exhibition will be held at the Catholic Institute in Floriana on March 19 and 20.

Every exhibit will have taken the member of the society months of research, construction and detailed paintwork to achieve the desired quality, a spokesman for the society said.

Bank of Valletta is sponsoring the event and a cheque was presented by the bank's head of public relations, Michael Galea, to Louis Carabott, president of the society.

Mr Carabott said many of the members' works have gained recognition in worldwide events and have won top awards in prestigious expos in the UK, Italy and Greece.
