turnerdad Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 It's going into the 1/32 military aircraft converted category (1/47 and larger I think), not sure which number. That's if it's finished of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobs_Buckles Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Nick, If that stang don't win a thing I will gladly take my life in my own hands and dance on Hampstead Heath in my birthday suit . Bloody awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnerdad Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Just a couple of pics till I can do a decent "ready for inspection" thingme. I've been working LONG hours to get this finished for SMW and I'm knackered and still have some stuff to do for tomorrow, so crap pics, sorry but I'm knackered and I'm on my 2nd beer. I'll give a fullround up next week with detail shots (including the fasteners of which I'm particularly proud), and the usual niggles here and there. This has been my most exhaustive build by far, I've learnt loads but would do a few things different next time. Overall, I'm extremly happy with the results. Hopefully see some of you tomorrow. If anyone wants to see her, she'll be in the comp, somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefr22 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Well done Nick, a really deserved award - but if I'd had my way it would have been best in show! I do wish IPMS would pick up on the 'Peoples Choice' award idea, because if the crowds around Red Baron & the time it took to get a look at it were anything to go by, it would have had no rivals! Absolutely fantastic model! Keef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keef OT: Does IPMS (or anyone else) publish the awards list on-line anywhere? I'm not a member, but I would like to know which models won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
