Exclamation Group Build 8 week! 25 yr old kit! $$PRIZE

The Deadline is May 17th Armed Forces Day.
Rules are, wait, we don't need no stickin rules. Guide lines are:

1. Kit should be of a model from WW2 era

2. Kit should be close to 25 years old, ugh! (whose idea was this again?)

3. Judging will be public, in case of a tie we could use somebody like Cy or Jim?

I'm not fit to judge. Paul would be a better choice.

I will however, offer a US$25 Amazon.com gift certificate (or equivalent in other currency at a similar site) to the winner! That ought to spark some interest.

built but still needs alot of work and paint.

I think that a modell from '76 will fit the bill perfectly for my part. So my weapon of choice in this build will be the 'ol M13/40. I'll post start pictures later on.

You know what I like about this whole thing? You guys took it from idea to reality in no time without any bickering or drawn out debate.

If you guys want me as judge no problem.

Red face Re: Group Build 8 week! 25 yr old kit! $$PRIZE

Wish I could join here, but no idea on getting a digital camera in the near future for this, I had some older kits, but they went MIA when my other older, already built models "walked out" of my storage locker.....

Cheers, maybe the next one I hope.

Tom

Tom, you could photograph your kit with a regular camera, and have the shots transfered to a CD. I know Walmart does this as well as other photo outlets.

It's the environment Paul, it makes us all "Nice like that", great place requires great people, that's the formula.
