Spent a nice day down there today, finally met a few guys from ARC who I only knew on line. Although there were quite a few models that, in my opinion, would qualify as whiffers, only six were entered in that actual category. Got some pics, so here they are!
Didn't get the details on this one, but it's some kind of Cessna 172 outfitted for spying(?)

He was surprised when I told him about this board. I get the idea that he's been looking for kindred spirits for a while so he'll no doubt post here soon, I gave him the url.
I'll post some more of the weird and unusual tomorrow, stay tuned!
Italian floatplane Stuka FTW! :wub:
Great set of pictures!
I love that Italian floatplane Stuka :wub: and the Canadian Condor looks a deserved winner :thumbsup:
Indeed, some great stuff there, but the Stuka takes it for me. :wub:
the valkyrie combo is nice but the stuka is a cracker :thumbsup:
Thanks Ratty !
:cheers:

Yeah, as I said there weren't a lot of whiffs, the first couple of posts took care of all that were entered in that category.

Nice pics, thanks for sharing.
Yup, thanks Ratty. The paper stuff is amazing. The MK show always has a good display but those are fantastic :bow:
Very nice shots.
thanks for posting.
Some interesting subjects!
Edit - congrats on the door prizes :-)
the stuka floatplane and the condor are both inspired.
hmm, the idea of a B-70 as a launcher for the X-15 looks almost real!
thanks for posting these rat!

Nice!!! FDL-7's and Stargazer Titov's! I picked up one of those in January from SSM. Nice to see other schemes for them.
