| All lovers of models had a chance to see various models at an exhibition in Prague, which was held on 27. 4. 2002. There were a lot of producers who concentrate on paper models there. This kind of model is very popular in a lot of countries for last few years. Spectators were able to see models of different categories like planes, ships, cars, lorries, castles, houses, motorcycles and Formula One. The last huge category was presented by Jaroslav Vehrle from Fan-Club F1 CZ who has been interested in it since 1977. As he is in love with Colin Chapman and his Team Lotus he took two models of this car. There was Lotus 72 D in scale 1/24 and 1/12 there. Both of them are very popular with model makers. Another very great car was Brabham BT 46B which is fan version in scale 1/24. This model has never been made by any company; that is why it is a rare type. The same scale was also filled by McLaren MP 4/15 with Mika H�kkinen version and Jaguar R1 with Eddie Irvine version. In this kind of scale there was possible to see unbuilt version of all these models and even of Minardi M02 and McLaren MP 4/4. Any spectator was able to compare built and unbuilt models thank to that. Bigger scale 1/12 was represented other models coming from season 2000 which means McLaren, Benetton, Ferrari, Minardi, Jaguar and Sauber. The biggest scale 1/8 was represented by Jordan from the same 2000 season. All these cars were admired by the visiting people. Thank to the cooperation among Jaroslav Vehrle from the Fan-Club F1 CZ and Petr �pinler as well as Miroslav Gabriel has been supported these models at a few places. Instead models there were presented activities of the Fan-Club F1 CZ which are responsible by Jaroslav Vehrle. That is nice that a few people in the world have joined their cooperation in the field of paper models mainly Formula One. Recently a few people who have been interested in cooperation are for example Jacky Liew from Singapore, Randall Lawson from the Netherlands, Thomas Brock from Germany and Ray Psulkowski from the USA. Special thank should be provide to Anthony Hayes who leads British Racing Green and even Clive Chapman as Colin Chapman's son who likes and supports our paper models. I am very pleasant to be in direct contact with them because both of them love F1 history and current races and create valuable portion of this nice event. The last thank I would like to dedicate to Elizabeth Shaw from Canada who loves F1 racing too and makes support by media.
