2024 IPMS Nationals "Aircraft" Scale Model Contest

[@biggatorcaesar]

I built model aircraft and ship kits since I was nine. somewhere along the way I haven't built anything for over 20 years! that's about to change. after seeing all the kits displayed here and the enthusiasm everyone has shown, it has lit a fire in my gut to get back to what I used to spend all my chore money/time on, modeling! thanks so much for posting!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So good to hear/read!!!!!!!! Now is a GREAT time to be a modeler with all the old kits being rereleased and so many new kits being made! Welcome back to the hobby. 🙂

[@michaelnaven213]

A solid hour of just amazing builds. Could not have asked for more.😁👏👏👍👍Thanks for this!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

So glad you enjoyed!!!

[@kennyspaulding796]

So many Great models. Among my favorites are, 36:03 excellent weather and chipped paint affects. 39:03 Santa Fe Airways 👍 Originality. 59:03 Nice WWII diorama. Same for 102:14. Funny how 3 out of 4 landed on the 3 second mark. 🤔

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!!!!

[@EvaExplores-x2x]

7:40 is the most vibrant Su-33 i ever seen

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree

[@ВетДок-з9г]

С цветом немного не угадали, должно быть бледнее

[@109acepilot]

That Stuka at 0:33 looks incredible! Like it just got back from the east front

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree

[@KHETTIUS]

That Japanese F-15 in orange and white is stunning!, i really don't envy the judges in comps like this, the standard is insane!.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree

[@josereartesbustos714]

Excelente!!... no sé si la luz ambiente ayuda al realismo de cada maqueta o bien las pinturas vienen de una calidad excepcional q desd luego hace lucir a los expositores. Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed.

[@jorgeleon1298]

Ingenios Flying machines 🛩

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree ✈ 🙂

[@shannonchurchill4556]

Really surprised how many builders went with the factory fresh look and did no weathering. The bare metal finish on that one B-29 at 18:15 was amazing and I have to wonder if it was even paint, or foil.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree.............. Not sure about the B-29 finish.

[@perfectcell1157]

This is so cool the models look amazing

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, I agree

[@halissonmurilo]

Wonderful, F14 Jolly and Viggen is my favorite

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree

[@tiffsaver]

For my money, the sleekest, sexiest WWII fighter of all time was the US Navy Corsair, in Midnight Blue.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

That is nice!

[@cuongtkong58]

The F-14 "Tomcat" will always be the best looking.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Yes, I agree

You did a fantastic job of videoing these beautiful models. The quality of the video and sound is top notch. If you don’t mind me asking what are you using to shoot the video? GoPro 12?

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Thank you, so glad you enjoyed..... GoPro Hero 8 .... That has been my workhorse camera for a couple years now.

[@gaspumprob]

[@steves1112000]

To the judges: this may seem a bit of an open-ended question, but for a little better than mediocre modeler myself, what are some general tips you can give in making a showpiece.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great question my friend...... Maybe someone will chime in with some suggestions.

wow so sad to see that the average age of modellers here is about 127...,only us who were born before video games I guess

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

True....... We are all older now.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I've noticed (most of) the younger modelers are into the Gundams and war gaming kits/figures.

Always tons of bikini chicks at these events 😍

Зравствуйте,скажите пожалуйста как купить макеты в Росси и как оплатить покупку?Спасибо.

I don't know how you would buy them in Russia

Купи сборную модель и собери сам, там будет проще

Hahahaha a stunt with midiatic purpose to deviate attention from the calamitous situation all over the front... Will end as a FIASCO just like that joke of a counteroffensive!
