Philp Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Each year for the last few, our clubs "splinter" group has held the Airfix Challenge. This is a group of 10+ modelers who live about an hour south of Salt Lake so sometimes hard for them to make our monthly meetings. This year they expanded the competition to include Heller kits. There were 8 entries. 1st was the old Airfix Fw-190 2nd was a Heller T-28 and 3rd was this nice Airfix Devastator You can see the rest of the entries and some other kits that showed up last Tuesday on our site. http://www.ipmsslc.com/gallery2/v/Contests...xChallenge2007/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) Excellent! Glad to see more builds that involve the old but good Airfix/Heller range. Anyone up for a repeat of a Matchbox Madness GB? <_< MikeJ Edited February 27, 2007 by madmike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Justin Davenport Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Oh yeah, I'm up for that. These kinds of group builds are the most fun, the ones like this and the last Matchbox GB as well as the upcoming Monogram GB. By the way, Phil, I'll try to make the meeting tomorrow, if the weather's OK. The last time I drove when it was snowing on the benches I did a 180 in my now sold Mazda pickup. Anyway, I've thought about entering something in that chapter's Airfix challenge, but going across the Point of the Mountain is a bridge too far....but if there's something like that planned for our chapter or the Gathering I'm totally up for that. I've got some more Airfix and Heller kits..... Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 OK I will start testing the waters for a repeat. :lol: MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Philp Posted March 1, 2007 Author Share Posted March 1, 2007 Justin, You missed a great meeting. Check the pics out in the Gallery. Don't have any plans for something specific like that but the Mini Con is coming up in April. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justin Davenport Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 Ah yes, the Mini Contest....I'll bring a few kits there, including the Mig and the 727. I'll check out the gallery also. Justin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
