Marc, great pictures, just sorry I had to miss it this year. The only good thing is that my stash didn't grow again - running out of places to put those boxes!

Congrats on the win - and 2 prizes no less. Again, only wished I got to see the 190's again.

Tanky, congrats to your spit also.

Just curious, did any one notice if there were any 1/48 armor?

Looks like it was quite the event. Lots of top-notch work. Thanks for sharing, Marc! When I lived in NY I attended that show on a regular basis, and your pics brought back a lot of great memories.

...and congrats to all the winners...nicely done, guys! Thumbs Up [tup]

  Very tricky... now that I know who you areWink [;)]  But maybe if I was paying attention to the "Dan S" and the "North Jersey" in your post I should have been able to figure that out.  I will blame it on the pain meds. Whistling [:-^] I am really feeling the 9 hours on my feet.... but it was worth it.

And congrats to your awards as wellThumbs Up [tup]

Marc,

Congrats on your awards. Much deserved.

Outstanding show this year. The quality of the stuff on the tables was just amazing.

Aww shucks... Blush [:I]

Yep, my spitfire was the one with the engine exposed.

It was a pretty darn good show this year. I picked up an Eduard Fw-190, fujimi mig-21, eduard la-7 and an Acc. Min. P-51C. (I didn't even know Acc. Min. made  P-51C?)

Saw wingy's collection of 190's- they made me feel like I was walking around in circles. Very nice work on those.

Was Tanky's Spit the one with the gun-access panels and engine cover removed?  My eyes can't see very well, but what I could see of it was outstanding!

Wing_nut, I'd ask if you were the guy standing next to me with the camera - but I think I was the only guy there without a camera!

Great turn out even with it being Easter weekend.  The competition was hot this year.  Got my first awards in a model contest.  My 1/72 190 took 3rd place in 1/72 props and the 1/32 took 2nd in 1/32 & larger/Props & Jets.

And Congrats to Tanky for his 1st place win in juniors of his oustanding 1/72 Spitifre.  he has posted pics here before but they don't do it justice.... really nice work with microbic AM detail.

Here is the link to the slide show.  There was a ton more great stuff but the camera battery conked out.
