I'll just have models to put on Ray's table, this kind of being the de-facto display table for the proposed new "Civie" category we want to get up. I'll be bringing along my Zlin-242 (1/72), Zlin-50M (1/48) and Pitts S-2B (1/32). Hopefully my 1/32 RB-51 will be complete enough to bring along too - better get cracking!

For the A/CAM table I'll have my 1/72 Airnorth DC-3, 1/72 DH88 Comet, 1/48 Clay Lacy P-51 Mustang and hopefully a 1/48 civvie Hawker Hurricane. On the comp tables I'll have a 1/48 PR XIX Spitfire and maybe a Sea Harrier and T-34 Mentor :)

And let's not forget the inaugural A/CAM display at Model Expo this year. This will be our way of introducing ourselves to the modelling public, and show them who we are and what we are about.
A/CAM is also the sponsor of the Airliner Category this year.
I would like to publicly thank Rene and Ed for ALL their generous assistance, advice, and support in getting A/CAM to Model Expo this year....you guys have been great and we look forward to an enduring and successful relationship with Model Expo...Australia's premier modelling event.
Ray

How did you go with the paint on the 787 Brendon ? I have some Tamiya paint that I am going to try on my A321 in Jetstar colours . Should be good to comprere the 787-800 to the 900 .

Hi Knotty,

I still only have mine in primer at the moment, I am still in 2 minds about using Tamiya TS-30 Silver leaf spraybomb, otherwise I might just "borrow" some of the actual colour from work. The only thing I would be worried about is that it might actually shrink the plastic.
