3rd – SWA 737-500 (Gabe Pincelli – Horseshoe Bay, TX)
1/72, 1/48. 1/32
1st – Junkers F-13 Lufthansa (Steve Hustad – Eden Prairie, MN)

IPMS Marietta Scale Modelers "It's ONLY a Hobby!"Thanks for posting Rob. Alex Bigey does beautiful work as do all of the other modelers. I saw the models on Facebook and was particularly “impressed” with the MPC/Airfix 747 in Pan Am colors. The builder deserves a handshake for entering/showing it at the Nationals 🙂

I love these airliners, so beautiful. Some of them are also in my shelves.
But the most interesting thing to me is: So many types of “white”.
That is really impressive.
And even that one can see in my shelves. 🙂Cheers

Thanks for sharing! Alex deserves the win for the 748, it’s a masterpiece.
Well done weathering on the Fokker 100, that’s something I need to get better at.
The wavy gravy 764 looks nice, as does the Cargolux 747.
The lights on the 340 and 787 are neat, I like when people do things a bit differently for kicks.

Of course, there was really only one airline-centric vendor at the show (Greg Joy/Joy Decals). He got a good chunk of my show cash, a lot of it 1/200 stuff… 😀
