vikingBerserker · 09-04-2009, 12:26 AM

It's tough, there were a lot of first rate entries.

109ROAMING · 09-04-2009, 01:57 AM

Too tough

I did eny meany miny moe between about 8 builds

Seriously some top notch builds guys

Catch22 · 09-04-2009, 02:38 AM

I was torn between a few, but I ended up going with Dan's F4U, mainly because of what the purpose was behind it and what it means.

Heinz · 09-04-2009, 03:55 AM

Agreed very tough choice guys. Went with Waynes in the end, perfection

GrauGeist · 09-04-2009, 04:14 AM

It's almost impossible to pick the best one out of this group...they are all outstanding.

It took me about 15 minutes and countless scrolling up & down to figure out my choice!

Everyone here can be given congrats on a job well done!

Agreed. While all the models presented were top notch I had to vote for Les's Corsair for the same reason as Catch. The research, co-operation and input between members, the internal detailing and modifications, and to top it off the weathering performed on the bird to match the photo's of the real birds were simply spectacular IMHO. Great work by all.

Micdrow · 09-04-2009, 05:58 PM

Great job to all, really some out standing work. Dan you got my vote on this one. Heck of a well done job!!!!!

Wildcat · 09-04-2009, 08:13 PM

Wow, what to chose, so many great models!! In the end I put mine in for Javlins awesome Zero

lesofprimus · 09-04-2009, 08:40 PM

javlin · 09-04-2009, 09:02 PM

Hey for mre I had to go with Peter's P40,I really liked the suttle weathering and paint it just has that look.

ozhawk40 · 09-04-2009, 09:32 PM

Thanks Kev - I just had to go with Lucas's Avenger. There are some really fantastic entries, but I have to say that working at 1/144 scares the *%^& out of me.

. It's my favorite.

javlin · 09-04-2009, 09:34 PM

Yea Peter there were a lot of good entries and improvement in peoples skills and unusual planes in there.
