[Catch22]

Nice pics Vic, thanks. Isn't the Sabre a Fury though?

Yes.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Here's the next little batch of Expo pics. All you Hawkeyes out there, g'd on'ya, your picking up all my deliberate mistakes .................go to the top of the class..

Sea Hawk

Buccaneer

Sparrowhawk (maybe)

Twin Lightning (WWII Lightning)

 

[Wildcat]

A man could go cross eyed looking at that lightning!

 

[B-17engineer]

Love the SM.79!

 

[Airframes]

Great stuff Vic. I did go cross-eyed looking at the Lightning - well executed though!

 

[Gnomey]

Nice shots!

 

[Matt308]

Oh my Miss buccaneer, how I love thee.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Very cool!

 

[B-17engineer]

Great stuff Vic. I did go cross-eyed looking at the Lightning - well executed though!

LMAO @ Matt......

Great stuff Vic, glad u guys were able to get together... All 3 of u frickin Vickies should be ashamed of urselves however, for not providing a group photo of said event...

I take it u decided not to enter any of ur kits Vic??? Which kits did Wayne enter and what were the results of the show??

Thanks guys and Dan, I'm not able to answer much of this Dan. 1st pic poster is one from Wayne which I believe got him 1st place. I only went on the first day before anything was judged. As for me entering, no chance mate, this was my first ever visit to model show and I wouldn't want to be carting a completed kit half across the country, it's too far for us seniors to drive down to Melbourne, takes us a good 9 hours so we fly.

Anyway, I've still a few more shots to show, so here three more.

Flying wing

A6M Zero. Second hand, well used

Spitfire Mk I

 

[lesofprimus]

That Zero looks real good..

 

[Airframes]

Great stuff Vic. I thought the flying wing was a powered pizza when the pic first appeared !!!

 

[Wayne Little]

Scored a first with the 109 and a second with the PTO Ki-84, Dan.

 

[vikingBerserker]

I like the Zero. They might have to rename this Model Expo to Wayne's Model Expo

 

[Gnomey]

Good stuff!

 

[Vic Balshaw]
