Hi there

There were some great models in the March poll, so I think congratulations are due to all the entrants! Still, there has to be a winner , so... in reverse order:

In 5th place:
Csch's Spitfire
OllieC-FWOL's P-47
Procrazy's Fw190D
RV1963's Me 262B Nightfighter

In 4th place:
Holdfast's Wildcat
Newtothegame's Mustang
OllieC-FWOL's Typhoon

In 3rd place:
Pixilater's Me 262

In 2nd place:
Crikey! Me... with the Albatross

But the clear winner - by a country mile in anybody's country!

In 1st place:
Wingman's Ju 87

So, let me be the first to post my congratulations! I've already contacted Michael for more pics of his superb build, so a Front-Page Feature is on the way!

All the best

HI. Just wanted to say THANKS to everyone that voted, not just for my aircraft but for all the votes for all the aircraft. I'm honored to have been a part of this collection of fine models. Also a BIG THANK YOU to everyone involved here at Amorama, I'm sure it's a lot of work and everyone does a superb job. Rowan, I'll get to work on those pics. THANKS for looking and voting everyone, Wingman out.

A well earned honour! I still like pixilaters ME262 (sorry wingman :-) no offence mate) a bit more but the JU87 sure is an excellent build!

Congrats to all!

Congratulations Wingman - an amazing build with great photos!

Just wanted to say again that I really enjoy this 'contest.' It may just be my wishful thinking, but it feels like we have had more sharing of progress since these more photos for gallery threads have been up. Maybe I should actually share some progress...oh wait, I would need to make progress to do that.

Hope all is well.

Sorry for not posting sooner. A great turnout, we still need more.
Congratulations to Wingman, well deserved, Bill sorry about extending the voting, your superb 262, was well up there until the final push during the extension, still a winner. Rowan, your Albatross is also superb and probably only lost out because most prefere WWII.
As mentioned elsewhere we are going to change the way the voting is done which will, hopefully, make for a closer all round finish.
Remember you can enter any aircraft model, aslong as it's yours, so get entering for this month. Now we have caught up entries will be excepted until the 15 and voting will take place until the last day of the month.
Stay cool
Mal
