Will do! The nice thing is, that I don't have to worry about judging at this show so I'll have time to do everything else.

Jeez Mike, cannot believe that.. Were the judges blind or had forgot their glasses home or otherwise intoxicated of TET etc..

It seems that any time I put a jet into the contest, the category is stacked with really nice builds. That and the Viper is far from perfect. There's a big spot on the canopy and some very slight silvering of some of the decals.

Hate to say it but you're wrong in both accounts. Only one placed and got a Silver, the Jeep. Go figure. I have been harassed relentlessly by model friends at the show that the Jeep is indeed NOT an aircraft.

How about kits? Did you acquire any kits at the show?
