The Indianapolis show took place on a beutifull Saturday. The drive was 2 hours from Cincinnati and at $3.50 a gallon it was a bit costly ( nothing compared to all you guys in Europe and Asia and elswhere paying almost twice as much ).
Lots of cool plastic to see and admire. Paul and I arrived there mid morning and placed our paper models. Paul brought his Fokker E.III in 1/50 sclae, the Do X in 1/100 scale and the 1/250 scale destroyer Lutjons ( did I miss something Paul ? ).
I brough my airforce of 13 aircraft. The Category I entered were the Vacuforms, conversion and others which was fine. There were about 3 or 4 other plastic, vacuformed aircraft entered.
We missed Boats who started out driving, but his car overheated and he had to abort the mission and head back home. Sorry we really missed you and could have used your display there.
Anyhow, Paul and I did well. He placed 2nd in Airliners category with his Dornier Do X flying boat ( did you win something else ? ). I did super! I got 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ( I overwhelmed the category with my 13 models ). A tripple crown. Reality is that I did it for show not for glory, but I have to say I felt kind of good about it.
So here are some pics
Cheers
