Old Dominion Open 2023

2023 IPMS Richmond Show and Contest, 25 February, Henrico Hall

I had planned on two MiG Killers for the competition tables, and possibly my Batch Build, but a project for a friend pushed those plans to the right. I ran into issues with my Sword F3D-2 Skyknight — namely seam cleanup and finally canopy fit — that has pushed that project to the right. The Fine Molds F-4J Phantom II is ready for decals but won’t make it. 

I also have three display models for our Club table — our theme is “Not another Japanese Zero”, or “any World War II Japanese aircraft that isn’t an A6M Zero”, in 1/72 scale. We currently have 21 models for the display and my 3 are the E15K Norm, J7W Shinden, and a G8N Rita. The Shinden gets her decals today and the Rita is getting the canopies masked and a coat of orange yellow and will just make it under the wire if I don’t get distracted. 

For the competition tables I will bring that project that pushed everything right. I’m not sure if I’ll bring anything else, yet. 

Thanks for looking…
