The Meeting


For the second month in a row, Vice-President Ethan Idenmill conducted the meeting in lieu of President Rex McCoy.
Gary Williams gave his monthly Treasurer report.

Secretary Joel Hendricks, suffering from a small wood working accident, gave his monthly report as well.

Show 'n Tell


Richard Abraham brought yet another nicely built model, 1/48 scale Mirage F-1 B from Kitty Hawk Models with Ecuador markings from FCM Decals.


Ethan Idenmill is building a ARVN M113 (above) as in Saigon circa 1963 from a 1/72 ESCI kit of an M113 A1. Ethan is simultaneously working on a 1/1600 Space Frigate by Nitto, top.


Jerry Jackson is working on another Bf109 G-14, this time from a 1/72 scale Academy kit.


Jerry is working on commissioned work, a 1/48 scale Trumpeter model of an RA-5 C Vigilante. The kit has some serious fit problems, like the top fuselage seam, the wing flats and slats (right above), all of which will not make a competition-level model.


Our thanks to all who participated!
