we at NOVAIPMS take things very seriously. Just look at the guy between Bricker and KiwiMike.

NOVA (Northern Virginia) IPMS and LSM members Vivian Watts and Rick Kranias gained first place honors at local NOVA IPMS meeting on 19 June 2013. Vivian's beautiful entry is Tamiya's 1:32 P51 and won first place in the Masters Division. Rick's unique build is Hasegawa's 1:32 P47D and took 1st Place honors for the 1:48 & Larger Division.

Bravo Dave! A great review. Truly a beautiful kit. The pit detail is incredible. These big 1:32 twin engine kits are creating a headache for the modeler...how to display these monsters! Would love to see this completed build side by side with ZM's He219.

Thanks Harv!

See you on Wed. "Slick Chick" has stalled. I have not been on the bench for nearly 4 weeks. Just alot going on at home working the veggie garden, minor landscaping, house fixing and cleaning, kids wrapping up school and swim team. I need about 10 more hours a day.

beautiful birds, beautiful builds...

beautiful build Mike, no surprise... mottle, prop wear, dropped engine bravo! the dio grass is really well done. nice, nice, nice

heck yeah!

thanks for the post. and welcome to the forum.

really nice job on this Mike. its so rewarding when a build fights you all the way and turns out to be a beauty. kudos for sticking through on this one.

all good stuff my friend. a beautiful build with exceptional skillsets. atta boy Nick!

Καλό βράδυ Nick! Η διαμόρφωσή σας facultyof είναι έξοχα. Oopa! Όμορφος! Έχω τυπώσει τις προσπάθειές σας και θα χρησιμοποιήσω ως μελλοντική έκθεση. Πίνω Polomari στο τέρμα σας. Adio - Rick Ελληνικά μου όχι καλά

very interesting data. until my skill-sets improve a ten-fold my builds will follow the FICE Doctrine. but being a technichal geek that I am its always nice to see authorative exchange on a given topic. bottom line is, I learned something...so it was worth my while to wake up this morning. I truly value and am always open to anyones expertise. I learned a long time ago to surround myself with people smarter than me. this is why I am here.

really nice Mike!

Me thinks ZM's next 1/32 will be a FW190. On edge of my seat for 1/32 Tamiya Jug and cannot wait to get my hands on their F4U.

beautiful build on this trop F. I just finished book "A Higher Call" and am inspired to do a Marseille and Stigler double build. kudos on your photography skill-sets.

nice work on that Dora, like the NMF on undersides. Your English is fine. I wish my Greek as good as your English.

Nice review Nick. Been waiting for the H6, are you going to hit some bench time?

good news Harv, now get back to that 38!

nice shots, thanks for sharing. all these beautiful aircraft less than an hours drive from me and I could not make the trip the Manassas. Will make it there in '14 for sure. nice shot of Buzz.

hang in there Harv. thoughts and prayers for quick recovery and return to the bench.

Gizmofantastic!

strength and prayers coming your way for the little one and family!

very nice weathering. love the camo colors!

My reserve was on the low end or what I paid. Those Firefly tanks retailed for $15 and I placed reserve at $5 and watched the fireworks. All my planes I reserved exactly what I paid...then watch the "Carp go for the crackers".
