Yay! My “Major Award” arrived today….
My prize package from the March contest has come in. And a beauty it is. 4 Tamiya 1/48 models is a good thing, but these are even packaged pretty as a boxed set. I opened it very carefully to peruse the contents, now I have the urge to go Luftwaffe. "Bodenplatte" in April! Seriously thanks to Martin and the judges (did you guys get the money yet?) for choosing my P-40K in March, and all you fellow iModelers that liked it. Horrido! BK
PS sorry for the enclosed image. Gad, I'm old. Take my advice and leave it as a thumbnail.
1 additional image. Click to enlarge.

Congrats Bill! That's a mighty nice prize. As for your pic, you aren't old my friend, just "seasoned"! (hey, I'm a 1952 model myself...)

Gary::: If you are a '51 model, you are still in diapers compared to me as I'm in the 1931 model, and I posted a 1931 Ford Model "A" car a few day ago. Cheer's! RJW

You'll notice there is no image beside my name. If I put a current image there people would ask me if I remembered these planes with props & camo & if I would put one up from my younger days it would have been taken with a flashbar.
Congratulations on your well deserved win. You will probably have your 4 kits done before I finish my 1 random draw kit.
