IPMS-Seattle special group project for their 2009 Spring Show..

[jcf]

from the folks who brought you the Schneider '49 and Jasta Schweinhimmel:

The IPMS-Seattle Jet What-If? Build.
Anything goes in any scale as long as its a jet.

Appropriate for what used to be called Jet City, no?

Yes, I have posted links to this forum and Madoc's online collection of profiles by Jennings and others.

Hopefully someone builds GTX's Phantom-canopied Arado 234!    Seattle's got some fine modelers there and in the near.
