Love it. Love Reapers stuff Dave

Think of it this way- In 1-2-3 judging, you take the modelers best kit in that class and compare it to other modelers best kits. With no sweeps, a person who is outstanding can't sweep a category. In GSB, you are evaluating the models individually so if a person builds 25 1/48 scale aircraft , in theory, they could win 25 awards. Dave

That's cool. Love that episode too. Great work Dave

Haha! Cripes a Mighty it is- thanks for the help Dave

Hi Chris and Gil: I have the Tamiya 1/32 P-51D kit and it may/may not have a filet on the tail ( I do like those markings). Chris- love those too. And thanks for the offer. I'll dig into the kit tomorrow night Dave

Hi All: So I want to build a 1/32 P-51D and I want some scheme with invasion stripes. I am by no means a P-51 expert so does anyone have any recommendations of cool schemes with invasion stripes that I could paint it up as? Dave

All: There is 154 page thread of details at Large Scale Planes here: https://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?/topic/52716-mh-60-academy-seahawk-135-scale/ Definitely a great read Looks like it was started in 2014 Dave

Me.......😁 Dave

I have bought from DMold and their products are great....when they are available. He has a "real" job and travels and makes parts when he has the time. When they are in stock, they are wornderful. But it is spotty due to his travel. Dave

Nicely done Dave

Sigh. This has been a long conversation so I went back and looked at the last time this was surveyed among chapters, members. Results were overwhelmingly AGAINST changing to any kind of GSB. So unless there has been a large shift in 15 years, this is a great conversation and will probably end right there, a conversation. And I build figures and routinely go through the GSB. Dave

Looking good Dave

On the other hand, my PC sees the same dates Ronbo listed...weird Dave

Thanks Rusty...probably just my faulty memory Dave

I see the correct dates. Using an Amazon Fire tablet if that helps Dave

FWIW, this was done at the R4 Regional in Dayton at the Air Force Museum. They tried for two years and have since returned to 1-2-3 judging Rusty- do you remember the last survey in like 2003. I actually tipped over the results of that one while cleaning out some old boxes. I think you were part of that team along with Bob Collignon, Nat Richards and a few others. Dave

Just starting the IPMS/USA review of this and so far, great fit. Only working on the cameras and the cockpit so far. Dave

Thanks Phil: I'll drop him a note Dave

Love the Gillman. Great paint job Dave

Sweet. The lady behind Morland Studios did a class a Wonderfest last year. Nice class and lady Dave

LOL...great..I need to buy more paint Dave

Yup- Kroenen. All three are excellent. Love the way the red isn't "too" red Dave
