Adelaide Model Expo (2009)

Hi Guys, well the SA Plastic Model Expo is done for 2009 and I report the following from my entries....

1/144 - A6M2 Zero - Micro Aviation - SECOND Place
1/72 - Ta152 - Small scale Prop- FIRST Place
1/48 - Fw190A-9 - Medium Scale Single Engine Axis Prop - SECOND Place
1/32 - Ki-84 - Large Scale Prop - FIRST Place
1/48 - Me262 - Medium Scale Jet WWII to Cold War Era - FIRST Place

So I guess I did a bit of alright!

Thanks Fellas, had a few people ask about the finish on the Ki-84, they were rather gob-smacked at how it turned out...wanted to know how I got it so right...

Took plenty of pics Vic, just got to start sorting them out now!

Congratulations Wayne. Well done!

It's an honour to have you in our midst so the rest of us can learn from you. Keep the pics and tips coming!

My Tamiya 262 with Kettenkrad is next in line after the 110 and I've already looked at your progress shots for pointers.

Great result Wayne, well done mate. Agree with Jan though, the '190A should have got a First. Have you got the addresses for the judges..........

Congratulations Wayne! Looking forward to the photos. It must have been some stiff competition when your superb Fw 190A-9 came in second...
