Hi Justen

The start of voting was delayed by problems in the gallery. I'd intended it to run from one weekend to the next, but seeing as we couldn't begin until last Thursday, I'll keep it open until 08:00 GMT on Thursday Jan 22.

All the best

Hi there

Voting is closed - and with 7 excellent builds to chose between, it was always going to be tough. In the end there was just one vote separating 1st and 2nd place!

So here's the result in reverse order:

6th place - Mecenas's P-51A and Bf443's OA-4M Skyhawk
5th place - TheUman's MiG-15Bis
4th place - Desmoquattro's Fw 190A
3rd place - Erlawerke's Bf 110E
2nd place - Thehannaman's I-16

Well done to all the contestants, but there has to be a winner, and here she is...

1st place - The Migrant's B-17G:



The Migrant's B-17G features a combination of extensive modifications over the standard Monogram kit and custom-made decals - plus, of course, a truly fantastic weathered paint job! The model established an early lead and held off the I-16 to become our worthy winner.

Congratulations Mike! PM me your address and I'll get the set of Warpigs in the post to you.

All the best

Rowan

Hi all,

I agree, superb job on the B-17. I think it should become a photo feature at least...
