November 2017 IPMS Ottawa Contest

These are all of the entries to the IPMS Ottawa, November 2017, monthly contest (ad hoc theme).


FIRST PLACE WINNER


Nazi Me-110E by Dragon in 1:48 scale


SECOND PLACE WINNER


North American Aviation company X-15 experimental rocket aircraft. Three were built and used from 1959-1968, and hold the world record for fastest flight and highest altitude for a winged aircraft (7242 km/hr at 31 km height, 2 km per second). Most flights were done in the gun metal blued black scheme, but a few flights sported the white ablative material designed to burn off upon re-entering the atmosphere. This is the very old Monogram now Revell US kit in 1:64 (so-called box scale), and includes a pilot in the cockpit (barely visible in this photo). Model by John Clearwater.
