Just got back from the 2011 edition of the largest show in the great Northwest, the IPMS-Seattle Spring Show. I have uploaded the photos of all the 1:72 models to Photobucket. The link is below.

2011 IPMS-Seattle Spring Show

Both attendance and model entries seemed to be very strong this year. Multi-engine prop in 1:72 was good, with a Pe-8, Piaggio P-108, and a B-25 looking very good. There were two He-178s (go figure) and a strong selection of 1:72 biplanes. Not too much going on in our scale in helicopters and collections, however.

I only remember a single Bf-109 in 1:72, and that in US markings. How weird is that?

Still, I think the club was pretty happy with the turnout. Vendors were strong too, with Draw Decals, Kit Collectors/Anigrand, and of course our local Skyway in attendance, plus lots of second-hand kits. All I splurged for was a couple of decal sheets.

Awards should be on the IPMS-Seattle website shortly.

Thanks for posting this. It's always great to get some inspiration from other's builds, especially here where they're all in the right scale.
