May 2017 IPMS Ottawa Contest

These are just some of the many entries to the IPMS Ottawa, May 2017, monthly contest (ad hoc theme). Several models were already packed away before I could photograph the tables. I am sorry that I missed taking pictures of all of them.

First Place
Rafale B fighter aircraft in French Air Force colours, with over 200 decals, and a gold-misted canopy done with Alclad. This aircraft is the first ever entered in the IPMS contest by this member, and it was a great job and clear winner.





Second Place
USA NASA Moon landing, 1969


Third Place
WWII motorcycle
