Dayton IPMS weekend of building
I attended a weekend event in which our club members spent 3 days of fun building models, talking, watching movies, spending time dining together. This was at the Hope hotel next to the Wright Paterson Air Force base gate ( our usual meeting spot ). We had 15 or so folks that set up their work areas and were building various models ( in plastic; I was the only paper builder ).
I brought my Kfir C-7 to continue its build Kfir C7- Yaron repaint of Yoav Kfir C2 and also various other paper kits. However, I never started on the other paper kits. I also started building two more Soviet aviation jets in 1/72 scale to add to my 80+ built models. It has been 5 years since I built plastic and it took frustrating additional time to get back to it. But it was fun doing the builds in both mediums. The event started with a significant snow storm Friday pm, but that did not dampen our event.

Looks like a lot of fun. Did you mention to the plastic modelers that your project was a free download? Even simple plastic kits are $50, before all the add ons. Your Kfir looks to be one of the best models in the group.

Yes I did mention to the folks that it was free. There were many surprised faces when I told them it was paper. Isaac

Looks like a good time. It is always fun to see the reaction of people when you let them know a model is paper.
Nice gate guards.

Which makes us all exceptional artists ! Isaac, I noticed a Piper to the right of your Kfir. Does this happen to be a paper model that you built?? I would be very interested as flying those things is my other hobby. Cheers, Erik |

The Piper model is plastic and built by another modeler in our club. Actually I built this same plastic model right after I my solo flight when I got my pilot license. I still have the model. Here is my 37 year old model ( minus the prop which I lost in my many moves ) Isaac
