Competition GB Finished Builds and Poll - Vote early, vote often. 😉

[NARSES2]

Because in almost every GB poll we say "it was so hard limiting myself to X votes" i've given you five votes.  I don't think it will be any easier.

A different angle at the GB's topic: the Chardiv Laboratory of High-Speed Automobiles ChADI 9-II ,,скорость" experimental high speed/land speed record vehicle, in its final form in 1989 before it fatally crashed on the salty shores of Lake Baskunchak.

Love it.

I have planned a Lightning converted to an LSR for ever.  Just haven't got that far.

In a world with no war international differences are resolved through sport. 
The pinnacle of sporting events is the Aerolympics where brave airmen and airwomen take to the skies to win for their countries the prestige and honour of victory.

Polish racing glider..... SZD. 41 Jantar Standard. Comes with plenty of combustion engine and related decals!       Paint scheme and all that I just came up with from my imagination. Painted hairy-stick with hobby paint acrylics and finally finished off with matte clear. Transfers came from old auto racing car kit sheets. The kit was an old 80's Polish kit. I can't for the life of me recall the manufacturer however..

PZW Siedlce was manufacturer of this one along with other models of polish gliders in 1:72. You've made a great looking model out of this "unfriendly" set

[TheChronicOne]

Thank you, kindly.. and thanks again! I'm going to try to get all of these and it helps to have a name. I only glanced at the "paperwork" in the kits, and the box doesn't say a lot (or I can't read it) so I appreciate the assist with that.

Now, we better run before the mods burn us at the stake with racing fuel for the wrong kind of dragging.

Wow... nice to taste the rarified air of the Finished Builds thread and post among such esteemed colleagues.  All looking spectacular, gents!
