What is the MBF?

The Model Bus Federation was formed in 1968 by two enthusiastic bus modellers as a
way of extending their hobby by communicating with other modellers and swapping
ideas and tips to help improve their modelling. Little did they realise that, over the
years, the MBF would grow into a world-wide association.

The MBF is the only organisation devoted to the world of model PSVs which has its
strength and base in the UK. Indeed, the growth of the bus kit industry over the years is
due in no small way to the efforts of the MBF and its members who have helped to
stimulate the growth of a new industry to cater for the demand.

Why should I join the MBF?

If your interest in buses extends to the world of models, becoming a member of the MBF
is the ideal way to help you develop your hobby. A monthly journal, regular local and
national meetings, model competitions, the exchange of ideas with fellow modellers, a
sales shop and special supplements are all part of the membership benefits of the MBF.

How do I find out more about the Kent Area of the MBF?

The Kent Area of the MBF usually meets at Maidstone Baptist Church Hall, Knightrider
Street, Maidstone, Kent, ME15 6LU every two months; at the end of January, May, July,
September and November. There is no meeting at the end of March as we have a stand
at the South-Eastern Bus Rally at Detling in early April.
