tbell Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) Heritagecon was a roaring success in it's second year. Held at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, it was a venue that is pretty tough to beat - how many shows can claim to have their contest table in the shadow of an honest-to-goodness flying Lancaster? Not a huge number of models were on display, but the quality more than made up for it. Ons of my favourites was Trevor Murphy's cutaway Golden Hawks Sabre, looking exactly like the museum's full scale cutaway not 50' away. The other highlight was Harvey Low's awesome 1/16 radio controlled Panzer III. ...and the rest... Edited February 25, 2008 by tbell Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 You sure are right about the quality of the displayed models. Very nice! <_< I particularly like the two-seat Cougar, Black Widow and navalized Horten ( :unsure: ). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Great time, and who can beat a model show in a air muesum???? No-one. Way to go Tony!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TF51GREGWISE Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) excellent pics! I really like American Beauty- that guy/gal really did it right! Edited February 25, 2008 by TF51GREGWISE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tricose Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Good Show Tony and Bob! Great Vendors area - wallet was definately lighter on a couple of friends helping out. Right Dong?? :) Just an after thought Tony. Wanna make a really big draw for next years show??? Make a couple of calls if you can and see if you can get a "transitting" CF-188 to park inside for one day next year. I think it would be a real show stealer and maybe a show theme. Just my thought - Congrats on a job well done Tricose Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Nice Sabre......!!!! Congrats to Trevor on his win for that one!!!!! I'm suprised Tony didn't liberate that one!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Cheetah Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Wow, some great stuff there! I loved the Sabre, Avenger and real space stuff the most! Whats the story on the civilan P-61 is that based on a real aircraft or is it a whiffer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
