Okay, well, I was there. The show was originally scheduled in early January, but a snowstorm caused the rescheduling.

The show does the Gold, Silver, Bronze thing and there are just large groupings. e.g. All aircraft are in the same class regardless of scale. There were 99 folks who entered 404 models.

This model was named Best Aircraft. I had seen it at 2023 NATS in San Marcos, TX.

He started from this. He also had a photo book showing his progress.

This was Best Diorama and Best of Show or Best pick by the judges, I don't recall and maybe it was the same thing.

There were only 5 models that I would consider Large Scale Planes. The two above and these below.

There were quite a few 1/35 armor models as well as all the other genres too. These are some others that I took photos of. Sorry guys, I guess I'm just not an armor type. I actually won a Russian Bt-2 tank model and after talking to someone who won some Russian figures and said he guessed he would have to get a tank kit to use them with, I donated the Bt-2 to him.

It was a nice time. I did receive a silver pin for my Ki-100. And if anyone was there, I was the guy with the Hawaiian shirt with the Flying Tigers P-40 scheme.
