I would say Saturday. All the models will be there then.

I live only thirty minutes from Chattanooga, so my plans are to try to be there each day.

Well that was some impressive show! First National Convention I have been to. The number of models was somewhere over 4600!
I'm glad I wasn't a judge. Most all the models were very well built and finished.
The vendor area was incredible as well. WNW debued (sp?) the Fokker, which looked very good (but I'm no expert) with sharp detail. The Lancaster's interior looked very fiddily - many small parts and detail that will never be seen. I picked up a Pup at the show for a build later this year. I also saw many obscure and old OOP models.
The convention was quite an experience. It was run very well and smoothly for such a big event. I wouldn't hesitate to go to another one given the chance.
Anyone else want to share their experience at the show?

I did manage to get a few pics. It was a pity that the scratchbuilt plane section was on the opposite end of the aircraft area from the WW1 section, as the best aircraft model, and my Hanriot were scratchbuilts.
Best Aircraft winner - a Gallaudet D-1 from 1917.

It was a great show.

Thanks for posting the photos! I was there and was blown away by the overall quality of the models. The Triplane by Ed Boll in 1/28th is amazing. One can not really appreciate all of the minute details without seeing it in person. It certainly confirmed to Me that Ed is still King of the Triplanes and Fokker Streaking 8) The scratch builds were incredible. I wish I had been able to take photos but a dead phone battery hampered my operations :-[ I certainly enjoyed meeting My Amigo Ed. He took the time to give me a personal tour of all of the winners in every contest category!

1st place

Don't know who built them, but the winning Alby had very shiny wings.
-
The winning Albatros was made to represent the one in the Smithsonian as it appears there. Thus the shiny finish. Bob Steinbrunn was the builder. The Camel was built by Ken Niles. Don't know the other Albatros builder.

I built the Albatros that came in 3rd place.
Had a total of 3 entries in the biplanes & 3 entries in 1/32 prop.
Took a 1st place in 1/32 prop as well.
-
Congratulations on a well deserved win at the Nationals, no small feat, your Albatros is stunning! What was your 1:32 Scale Prop subject that got a first place? A photo would be welcome as well!
Cheers,
Lance
-
Lance,
Thank you!
My 1/32 Prop win was a Special Hobby Hawker Tempest Mk V.

The other Albatros in the photos, the 'Death Head' D.V.a was mine as well, not Karim's.

I really enjoyed poring over your fine models!!!

Outstanding Larry, congratulations.
-
Larry,
By coincidence the Tempest is a subject that will probably tempt me to take a break from WW.I in the not too distant future, beautifully done! I'll send you a PM so as not to de-rail this Thread.
Cheers,
Lance

Congratulations Aircare84. I really liked the Death's Head Alby.
My Hanriot took a 2nd to the Gallaudet that took best aircraft. I also received 5 other awards in other categories. Not bad for bringing 7 models to the contest.
-
Larry and Ken,
Like I said, having seen these builds in person I was absolutely amazed at the quality! Congrats to both of you, well deserved!
RAGIII

well done and congrats to all, regards, Pete in RI
-
Thanks all for the great comments!
Appreciate all.
Great motivator to build more.
Am currently working on a Jasta V Albi in the markings of Richard Flasher.
Ken,
Thank you,
Your Hanriot was beautiful! Well done & congrats.
You did quite well with 6 awards and only 7 entries.

You're welcome, Larry.
It appeared that you used wood grain decals on the fuses. If so, what type were they? They are very convincing.
-
Ken,
I used the Uschi brand decals for the fuselages on the Albatros'
