A nice trio. Wouldn't mind doing that Trumpeter 'Wimpey'.

Dunno Matt. It is OOB but I think aerials are allowed

The addition of aerials and seat harness are allowed under the OOB rules for this particular contest. To my mind though,
this is still the best interpretation of the out-of-box rule.

Three nice builds but I think the JU52 and the Wimpey stand out.

OK, moving on to the 1/48 Multi -Jet Moderate Detail category, only 2 builds in this one. First went to a Hobbycraft P59 Airacomet and the runner up was a Hobbycraft Me 262 A1/U4.

Both look very nice, but the P-59 is a particularly appealing subject.

I didn't know we sent P-59s to Britain. Thought we just did pilot exchanges. Interesting.

Just a prototype for evaluation Matt, in comparison with the Meteor, they didn't enter service with the RAF.

Yeah I gathered that, but did Britain reciprocate and provide Meteors for US evaluation and in our livery? Just asking.

Let's get back to it with this beautiful C121 Constellation from Heller. It was the only entry in the 1/72 scale super detailed multi-prop category, so it came in first, second, third, and last!

Nicely done, especially the aluminium effect. Possibly better still if the panel line engraving had been just a tad subdued, but very nice indeed - and you gotta love the 'Connie' !
