Very well deserved prize, and not only for the model but also for giving the definitive Bristol Fighter building guide.
Ciao

Thank you Giuseppe and Ken!

The Eduard Facebook page and the new April issue of the Eduard Info journal (page 40 and 41) are worth a look ;)

On last weekend I visited the Euro Model Expo 2022 in Lingen which is the biggest model exhibition in Germany.
Since it was my first time, I had full freedom in choosing some of my models for the competition :)

The Bristol Fighter won a gold medal in the category aircraft in scale 1:48 Master class (there was in each category Beginner, Standard and Master) at the Euro Model Expo 2022 in Lingen.
Here together with my other medals.


I have two gold medals in the same category. According to the written jury instructions (which could be viewed on the internet beforehand), the candidates were to be re-evaluated in the case of identical points, but as far as I know the jury did not feel able to do this and reported back in this way, so a total of 3 models in 1:48 were awarded gold here.

It makes me very happy to have won three gold medals in the Master class 8)

Cheers,
Frank

Thank you very much!

The Crocodile has reached Gold in Fürstenfeldbruck, Ried and now at the EME.
This is still one of my best models, but now I need a different highlight for the next year, if I participate again. I would not put the same model into the same contest again.

Cheers,
Frank

God, my Brisfit looks rubbish compared to your one!
