Due to problems with the Gallery I have been unable to open a folder for the April MOM. I will do it as soon as I can but if it continues for much longer I'll forget about the April MOM and go straight to May. I am also unable to do anything about the March voting at the moment. I'm sure that it won't be too long before things are back to normal.
The 2 winners from January will each receive a prize, they are on the way. I am still waiting for my new contact to let her know the address of the February winner (just a little more patience Chuk )

Hi Allen, Yep any models finished in April Will still Qualify for May if the April MOM is scrapped. On this note if anyone had planned on entering in April can you please say so here, just so that I know if it is worthwhile having an April MOM if the gallery becomes available with enough time left.

The April MOM is open, I'll post the winners of the March event tomorrow, as I'm a bit tied up at the moment.

Hello. Just wanted to say THANK YOU to Mal and DRAGON for the JAN MOM prize. Dragon sent a 1/72 scale P-61B Black Widow with pre-painted photo-etch parts and nice looking decals. Clear parts look nice and clear with some pretty good cockpit detail. This looks like a brand new kit. It's from their Golden Wings Series, Premium Edition. Thanks for the votes and keep the builds and the votes coming, the more the better, Wingman out.

Thanks to all involved

Great, Howard and Mike, I have re-established good communications with my new contact at Dragon, Chuk, yours is definately on the way as I have a tracking number, so it will be with you soon.

The prizes are very new or sometimes not yet released and, although I have tried, in the past, to influence their choice it seems that whatever there latest aircraft kit is then that is the prize. 3 1/32 Me 110s were given out. So I believe that Dragon is being very generous, even if you don't end up with something in your prefered scale there is still evil bay I have asked Dragon to let me know what the prize will be before each Months MOM, this will enable me to advertise the competition more and let you guys know what you are playing for

All the best to all entrants in future MOMs.
