Model of the Year Competition
This months Model
of the Year Competition, 11 people voted on 8 Models.
Blimey I have never
seen so many 1/72 models on the table (makes a change from all these
1/48 and 1/35). So may be it is not a surprise that the top slot goes to
a 1/72 scale model. So well done to Mr Kevin “vac form” Baxter for his
Blackburn Roc. Who got more than twice the number of points than the
next man.
I can’t be at the
next meeting (Going Quoing) but someone (Julien ?) will collect your
votes in and pass them onto me for the final round of this years
competition.
So the voting when
like this:
|
1/72 Blackburn Roc * |
Kevin Baxter |
22 pts |
|
1/48 F 86K Sabre |
Brain Wakeman |
