Waiting with bacon breath for the results. I'm sure those other displays are toast after they see your son's eggcellent display. Ok, heading for the door.

Is it too late to ask if that Bf109 was the Friedrich model (FRIED rich?)

Yeah, I thought so...

Great news, and a well deserved first place!
I believe the pilot of the German aircraft was the well known Hans von Hahn, the name meaning 'cockerel' in German, and that he was being pursued by P.O. Egbert Shell, a pilot from Yolkshire, who boiled his engine during the chase, leading to a wheels up landing. He had egg on his face after been giving a dressing down by his CO, W/Cdr. Eric.G. White, E.M.B......

Thanks all, Jack has seen the messages and is pleased that the "proper modellers" like what he's done.

Sorry for milking this but fact is this is probably the first, last and only time that a prize will be won for modelmaking in this household!

Outstanding!

That really was a great effort, and a really different approach to a serious subject!

I wouldn't be so sure. There was some great attention to detail in those paint schemes. Perhaps jump into one of the forum's group builds and see how it goes?

At the very least, it should be fun!
