Thanks…The Judging Panel.
 
With all in congratulations for some awesome work. Thank you to all who participated and finished their work.
 
Amazed! Best way to describe my first reaction. When I joined the GB and then saw the other builds roll in I knew I had joined a tough competition. But a thank you to the many who have toutered, and encouraged me over these years is certainy warranted. Thank you judges.
 
It was a nice model Ralph and you have reason to be proud. Keep up the good work.

One small thing I noted during judging was the placement of the flap indicator decals. Those are the trapezoidal stripes that you placed in the trailing edge of the wing. They should in fact be on the curved edge of the flap. As the flaps deployed the pilot would see the stripes being exposed. Otherwise a great model.

These? Decals 73 and 74? I was a bit confused, and picked the wrong surfaces, when referring to the image. I suppose if had I read, and understood, the instructions given with the 73/74 detail image I would have been correct; but even that is a bit confusing, looks like they are on the trailing edge here as well, but looking closer, what may appear to be the wing edge, is actually the start of the curved surface of the flap? That, and not having the in depth knowledge that my support has. Learning though. To be sure that wont happen again. Detail criticism (corrections) like this is always appreciated.

Well dones go to all the winners, placers and showers!
Everyone has put up great builds and as the usual now a tough decision for the judges.
My hat is off to them for Their efforts.
The GB gets me back to the bench to help empty my GB stash.
 
I had a look at some of the first GB competitions in the archives and I have to say every model entered this time would have been a winner of GB01. It's scary how standards have risen by the time GB100 comes around the winner will need to have a working scale engine and a real life midget pilot.
