Meeting Summary October 2, 2014

In attendance on this night:

Randy, Rob, Chris J., Steve F, Steve R. Chris W., Gary, Joe

Chris J. brought along his completed Syrian T72. He recently won Silver at the KMK Show in Belgium which he attended, and conducted a weathering seminar, with his colleagues from Abrams Squad. Very nicely done.

Chris W. is an old friend of the club. He returned for a visit tonight, and hopefully we will see a lot more of him. He brought in his work-in-progress 48 scale trainer aircraft. It is known in the USAAF as the T-6 Texan, or in the US Navy/Marine the SNJ, or for Commonwealth enthusiasts, the Harvard. It will be nice to see that one when complete. Chris also showed us a future project, the venerable Monogram C-47.

Steve F. brought in a couple of Cold War single seater jets from the 50’s. The 48 scale F84G Thunderjet fighter, and the 48 scale RF-84F Thunderflash photo recon aircraft.
He also brought in a 72 scale Whitley Mk V with the Merlin 20 engines. For comparison the Spitfire Mk Vb had the newer more powerful Merlin 45. He also had to scratch build the tail turret from detailed reference. I didn't get a good shot of it but the detail was awesome!.

That’s it for this summary. Next meeting is November 2.

And a reminder, just one week until the IPMS St. John’s Plastic Model Show!



Hope to see you all there!
