Thanks guys. Terry, I was actually a bit surprised at the first place as well. I thought there were better entries in the group.
Cory, good news, the show goes to Edmonton next year after which they'll alternate so I look forward to seeing you there next year!

Yeah, that's just the camo scheme. You see it on a lot of Ki-61s, as well as a lot of Oscars. I haven't personally noticed it on much else.

Came home for lunch and thought I'd post the next batch. These are the entries for 1/48 Single Prop OOB Allied.
First up, Gold award to this beautifully finished Tamiya P-51B done up in Alclad NMF. I picked up this very kit at the swap for 10 bucks and the decals seem to be the same as on this model. It's inspired me to try the Alclad paint, which I've never done.
Next, Silver award to this nicely done Accurate Miniatures Dauntless:
Bronze went to this Tamiya Razorback P-47
Next up, a rather dusty looking Occidental Sptifire XVI:
And rounding out the category, a rather nice Trumpeter RCN Sea Fury:

Nice stuff, the Sea Fury's my favourite of the group.
And watch the Alclad. I haven't had success with it at all. It went down ok for the most part on a Ki-84 I built a few years ago, but it went awful on a CF-104 and a CF-100 that I attempted to spray with it last summer. Obviously you can get great results with it, but it is tricky (or maybe it's just me!).

Great stuff Andy. That Mustang looks good, but pity about the prop and spinner. Watch this on your build, as the prop splines are too long, and will need attention, plus the joint in the spinner / back plate needs careful alignment and sanding.

You're right Terry. Also, I'm aware that the Mustang's wings were actually painted silver over primer so would take it easy on the NMF. I was quite impressed by the model though. As an OOB he could not fix the props of course.

Congratulations Andy, silver and bronze can't buck at that mate, you did well. Some nice builds as well and can imagine the excitement with a couple of merlins rumbling away. Looks like a good show.
