Nice one!  :smiley:

The Beaufighter display is great and the P-47 isn't bad either.

Wow thank you very much mate for the great comment  :smiley: :smiley:

Now I've got to concentrate on the three builds (one not even started yet ::)) I need to finish before Canberra, well five really when you add a 1/76 Airfix armoured vehicle also on the way and a ship I need to repair and detail.

How can it be 31degC on Sunday, and snowing/raining two days later and 14degC???

Funny you should say that Elmayerle, I spent some time on a cattle station that's actually a bit bigger than Texas here in Oz many years back, just hot all day though  :smiley:

I can imagine.  Thing is, Texas is where some four (at least!) different regional weather patterns collide and it makes for quite variable weather.

Probably sick of my little Fw by now, more news though.
On the weekend of the 9th and 10th of November2019 I attended "Scale ACT '19", the annual Scale model show for the ACT Scale Modellers' Society.
A rather large and well run event with 650 models ( ?? or so) on display of many types, including Whiffs.
The standard of the models in the competition was very high, with some stellar builds such as a new 1/24th Airfix Hellcat to die for  8) 8) :P :P

My Fw was entered into "Military Aircraft. 1/72 - WW2 - Single Engine - Axis"

Judging was a mammoth undertaking starting at 14 o'clock Saturday arvo, restarting 0830 Sunday morning before opening at 1000.
After this and having one of my models damaged by having a P-47 dropped on it I was pleased to see the Fw had scored again,
A second in this class against the superb standard on display really had me chuffed,

Thank you very much gents  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Must've done something right  ;)
It may be the Fw's last show as I don't think I can afford to go to Model Expo in Melbourne over the three days of the June long week end like I've had "suggested" to me.  ::)
