Just back from ScaleACT.

Almost 370 entries from 93 entrants. Quality was outstanding.

Category details on the ACTSMS website.

Great to catch up with the 'out of towners' :D Only 5 or so in the civil aircraft category. I managed 2nd for the Luftwaffe A340 and 3rd for the QF B747-8 in the What-If Air category

From the builder

Kit was a Tamiya F-4J, I used Eduard cockpit and some exterior bits, 3D print of the exhausts, but scratched the widening of the rear end and intakes. I also used Wolf Packs flaps and slats to save some time, and the rocket pods from a revel Hunter. Decals were a mix of Peters handy work, and masks I had made by Merkit (I think thats them). Otherwise it was a lot of extra plastic, scratch fin tip and filler.. lots of filler
