Photos are now up and more being added daily. Putting them in a blog because of the time it takes to upload to site.

Some INCREDIBLE stuff there, thanks for the massive effort it must have been taking and uploading them all. 

My #1 fave was the USS Los Angeles 'flight refuelling' from a ship, amazing stuff. 

But the P-51 floatplane was a gem, as was the Allison engine Ford panel delivery, and the four engined B-52 won the subtlety prize.

Was there a special class for Japanese aircraft though?

Same link both times dude.

There is a bewildering number of categories there.  Someone should do a flow chart to help entrants.

<edit:  thanks Jon>

No Kit I posted the Japanese stuff mainly for some Japanese FB friends and the Arawasi blog.  The airship tender rightly won its class.

Ah, OK, I understand now, thanks.

How big was the Los Angeles? It looks around 3-4 ft long! That'd be around 1/144 scale perhaps.

Glorious.. like strolling through a candy shop. Some stand outs I noticed were the "Final Countdown" dio, Canadian creamy color and green plane, the digital Viper, the Construction thing...etc.  Wow.. so much good stuff. I'll be taking numerous strolls through these pictures again!

It was a good four foot Kit I had trouble taking a photo with my point and shoot as I couldnt move back far enough.

Wow, that's really impressive modelling.

I like how, when viewed from the correct angle the Airship Tender is being buzzed by The Millennium Falcon.
