Hi, all. My name is Ron Hilker, and I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I've been modeling for 50 some years, taking a break only for college. I model primarily aircraft, with a heavy dose of helos, any scale, any era. I've been in and out of of IPMS for many years (out, not because of ill will, but for lack of a local chapter). I made it to Omaha this year and was humbled to win one third and three first places. My usual hangouts are the two contests in Kansas City, so if any of you come to them, just look for the old ugly guy.
