Congratulations to the winners and thanks everyone for their participation. The judging was very tough for this one and all of you are to be commended for an outstanding job. You guys all upped the standard on this one and I have a feeling that judging on the next build will be even harder.

Good job guys!

Congrats to all, and thanks guys! It was fun and I learned a lot in both my modeling and quite some history on these wonderful aircrafts. Also some of the native tongue along the way.. Splendid old bean!
