MAFVA Model Society

Present Arms

We are holding our event in conjunction with the Essex Miniature Armoured Fighting Vehicle Association (MAFVA), who once again are holding their “Present Arms” show here. This can be found in our Model Marquee and proved extremely popular last year with children - both big and small, who were able to try out their model building skills.

MAFVA exists to promote interest in Armoured Fighting Vehicles and their associated equipment and to act as a non-profit making organisation for the collection and dissemination of information. They try to answer queries or seek sources of information for their fast growing international membership and to encourage correspondence between those with similar interests. The interests within MAFVA run from the First World War to the present day, although the greatest emphasis is centred on the Second World War. The majority of members make and/or collect models and there are many who only gather information on military subjects.
