Attended the show today.  Entries were down and I saw a lot of retreads from previous shows but the quality was very good and I got to see some old friends so all in all a good time.

Pictures are here.

Some of my favorite What ifs were:

That 'Starlifter' Scheme' C-17 looks just SO right!  ;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! :)

You could do a longer version, just like the C-141B Starlifters. It'd need two C-17 kits but it'd look EXCEPTIONAL in that scheme.

That's a great idea Kit!  But I think you're just on a long fuselage kick............ ;D

Good stuff! :thumbsup: Thanks for sharing those pics!

The C-17 looks great in those colours. The YF-19 is also cool. Looks like some kind of catshark.  :thumbsup:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

Think that is one of my pics too (I posted them there too).

There were a ton of Aggressors on the tables and I pretty much shot all of them (what can I say, I like Aggressors).

Probably was, but I missed your hot link.   ;D

Was too impressed with the pics you posted.

EDIT:  Wait, yes you did, since the Picasa link you had is the same as the one on Starship Modeler.
