Congratulations Lou on being voted Modeler of the Year. And with respect to your current entry for the  '09 Model of the Year your models are, as usual, supreme. But I would like to also commend you on the fine background within which  you present your models. A very superb detailed and realistic hangar.

Cliff.

Thank you Cliff. Just a box with a few extras added.

Taking a cue from Ray, I will post all 2009 submissions to the first post and then place an advisory message when a new addition has been posted.

So far we have 4 submissions. I am still waiting for Gera to provide me with pictures of his 2009 Caproni 101 submission.

Excellent idea, Lou and Ray.  It will be neat to see a summary of the 2009 models in one place.  Thanks for putting this together, Lou.

This part was all Lou...      I'm way too lazy to do each one!

I have to admit mine didn't take 1-1/2 hours to make. I skipped the primer/filler stage and also fine sanding (it's so small). A lot of corners were cut to get it out there for the war effort.

Gordon's Boomerang has been added to the 2009 MoY submissions.

Please be advised that I will post the finished models to another post listed above this one. Again, should I miss someone please let me know. I will post the photo alphabetically by builder using their first/user name. I have just started so, it will take a few days(?) to complete the switch over. Using icons and the link to the gallery should be more user friendly and take up less space.

Great work Lou
