    Wow, 27! The latest bomber contest with 13 had some fantastic planes, this is going to be wonderful. What has been the most entries in a competition?

    Time didn't permit me to make an entry so it will be nice to run an unbiased eye over the entries, rather than sizing up the competition. Good luck to everyone who entered.

    Are members who submitted entries allowed to vote? Reminds me of a peanuts cartoon where everyone voted for themselves...

    You can.
    But voting in yourself will weight in the number of reincarnations you will have to suffer yet. Just sayin'.

    Fool that i am I have now got back onto the second model but with some experience gained from the first I'm hoping for a better build. I will not paint (and Wing Decal) this one first before assembly.
    Got my entry off to the Oberst this afternoon so worries about missing the deadline were, after all, unfounded. Still, a close run thing!

    So much for complacency! My internet connection was down all day Sunday so did not get the Oberst reply until to-day. I had apparently only sent him 1 BB code instead of 3. Now done but due to interweb connection problems, after the deadline! I am hoping that I will still be included as I did get my original mail in on 30th
    so hopeful.
    Bloody computers!!!! Now having problems sending this post internet connection not stable again. Keeps flicking in and out but not in long enough to send! Engineer supposed to be here to sort it either to-day or tomorrow. Can't be soon enough. Developments - internet connection light now RED was flickering GREEN. I give up!

    While it's up to Herr Oberst, you got your e-mail in. A later correction giving additional BB codes should be OK. You have provided evidence that it was finished before the deadline, and you only *need* one photo by the letter of the rules, anyway.

    No worries Reg, you good. You had proof that you were done well before the deadline.

    I'm curious which models were used. I hope upcoming contests consider the available models from relevant third party companies.

    We had entries using the Ares mini, Valom kits, and Shapeway 3D printed minis. So, third party companies were pretty well represented.

    Of course. I've used a Valom kit by myself. I think the great response in these challenge is owed to the fact, that the Fokker D.VII has an excellent availability through many different manufacturers. Additionally there are so many different schemes. A great choice for a challenge, Keith!

    Didn't used to be so available! I remember the long dark teatime betwixt the first release and the reprints! Shapeways filled the gap and boy did we buy them! I have 22 in my collection now with a dozen on the shelf for no reason what so ever! : ) Even some odd ones!

    Voting for yourself is a time-honored tradition! Besides, that's the only way my entry will receive any votes.
