Western Canadian Regional Model Contest (2011)

[FL350]

Hello,

Thank you so much for taking a snap of my A340! I apologize that I didn't know you were only photographing WW2 models, had I known I wouldn't have requested the picture. It was a great day and I hope to see you again next year! Once again, thanks!

All the best,
-Charlie

PS. Some really good models you showed here ...

[vikingBerserker]

That is a pretty nice one.

[Wayne Little]

Let me guess: The wing to fuselage seam at the leading edge in the second pic, and the unfilled gap between the wing halves over the radiator flap in the 3rd pic?

You got it ! That A340 loooks rather good too!

[Airframes]

Very nice Airbus.

You're very welcome Charlie. I just wanted to squeeze your entry in before heading off for a short vacation. Actually, I took lots of pictures and not just of WW2 subjects so no apologies necessary. And welcome to the forum!

Nice looking German Shepard.

OK, back to the Super Detailed Props and Jets category 1/32 and larger, Gold went to this beautiful scratch built CT-133:




Silver went to this rather grunged up Tamiya Phantom.

[Airframes]

Love the CT 133. Scratch built ?? Heck! I know there's a 1/32nd scale kit around, but if that's all scratch built, it's one heck of a nice job!
The Phantom suits the look of a well-used carrier bird - but the glossy black areas, especially the radome, aren't in keeping with the rest of the airframe, which spoils the effect slightly. Nice though.

[Gnomey]

Agreed Terry! If the CT-133 is scratch built then it really is superb, it would be great even if it wasn't.

[Matt308]

That CT-133 is a beaut!

[vikingBerserker]

Now that's impressive!

[Catch22]

Wow! Fantastic stuff.

[Wayne Little]

Excellent work!

[Crimea_River]

Still with the same category:

A rather nice Sabre, didn't catch the kit manufacturer:




This next Canadair Mk 2 Sabre was done by the same guy who did the CT 133. It started life as a 1/32 Kinetic kit, with many parts replaced with scratch built resin components. Although very nicely done, it surprisingly didn't place.




Another grungy carrier bird, this time a Tamiya F14B:


Academy CF-18B, also in need of a wash. If I had to guess, the same guy did the Phantom, Tomcat, and the Hornet.

Sweet stuff!
