Ft. Crook IPMS

Member model pictures

Scott Hackney, a member of IPMS Ft Crook, and current 2VP of IPMS USA, just sent in some project pictures.
1) This is the Tamiya 1/48th scale F-14A Late. It's in VF-84 markings as seen in the movie The Final Countdown complete with the two Japanese kill markings.
2) The F-14D is the new 1/72nd Tamiya kit in VF-31 markings
3) The tank is the 1/48th Atlantis Type 97 Japanese tank (formally Aurora). The diorama represents an abandoned tank lost in jungle for 80 years.

Heads up!

Official Statement on the Acquistion of the Modelcollect

Folks, I have to do a Mia Culpa here.... I screwed up!
The Facebook links from Vladimir Yukabov were from last year's Nationals, not last week's Nationals. The photostream post from him is from the last Nationals, as is all of the other links and Facebook posts from others, such as Special Hobby.

I got too excited about getting the pictures and didn't notice the post dates, for that I do apologize. However, please enjoy the stroll down a year old Memory Lane.
Meanwhile, I'm going outside and yell at the moon........
