Unless I've missed something, you haven't told us about your 1st place finish at Kalamazoo. Congratulations!  :thumbsup: :cheers: :party:

Over on Hyperscale. I tried to hyperlink to the post but it won't let me. http://www.network54.com/Forum/578046/message/1316461277/Airfix+does+well+in+contest

Okay, that worked.

I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.

Oh, alright, yes it was me.  Brought in one of the lovely new Airfix MiG-15s.  The other guy that got 2nd place brought in an Airfix -15 too.  Thanks for outing me there, Dave.

Hey, 'don't ask don't tell' is gone, you can admit to building a real world one every so often.  :thumbsup:

Here it is.



For some reason I've been in a what-if drought the past few 2 years.  I've got like 5 partially started WI builds that aren't going very far.

You won first place with a model that's got scratched up paint?! Sheesh, judges these days.  ;D

I bet some JMN judges were measuring the depth of the paint chips to ensure they were really chipped off too.

As you say, judges these days.......  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
