ScaleACT22, the Capital Comp :-) and PRJ Adelaide

[RayS]

Well, I am back after a week and almost 3400km round trip from Adelaide - Canberra - Sydney - Adelaide.

I carted 31 RAAF display models and 2 comp entries, on the return leg that grew by another 4 models which were stored at Pete M's (Mr Hawkeye) place when I moved over to Adelaide.

Here are a couple of albums with the images, there were about 10 civil models scattered around in 2-3 categories with 487 entries overall.

I managed a Highly Commended for my Finnish Hawk MK51 in the Kittyhawk Cup category (the theme kit was the 1/72 Airfix BAE Hawk - any boxing).

For the RAAF 100 display we managed to get a model of at least one of each aircraft type the RAAF has operated over the last 101 years (153 types), there were 328 models on the tables. This included a few wooden and resin desktop models

I also attended a small local comp here in Adelaide at the South Australian Aviation Museum organised by a sub-group of members from the local model club this weekend. I was surprised to find I won a couple of goings in this one.

So hopefully I can get back to some 707, 737 and 757 goodness that have been waiting patiently on the shelf of doom.

Thanks Ray for posting that link to the ACT show, there are some very truly great models on display.
Also the RAAF display and the Adelaide show.

Well we had a DH50 in Series 2 which in my books fills the bill

Series 2 DH.50

Technically the DH.50 for series 1 made it to the comp, it just was not displayed.

Looking at the picture, they are quite different. One is on floats. Not your fault it wasn't displayed.
