Thanks for your vote’s guys and for following my request to keep the voting simple, it certainly helps me when toting up the results. There were one or two who didn't fully adhere to my request but this in the main were new? Voters. Please, if you are going to vote, can you read the guidelines first as I will not be sending PM's anymore over this and infringements will have to be ignored. Reading of and adhering to the voting method and request for keeping it simple is now mandatory for your vote to be counted, this also means that 3 votes are required.
Sorry about this but I have to nail it down so I'm not put in the position of deciding whether to except a vote or not. So far none of these issues would have effected the voting outcome, but there will come a time when it will. Lets be honest it ain’t rocket science, 3 votes each, 3 points for your first, 2 points for your second and 1 point for your 3rd choice and nothing else in the reply, no smilies no well done’s no nothing except your 3 votes

OK, enough wining, here's how it went:

    betheyn (F-86 ) 35
    lampie (Fw190D) 17
    wingman (Ta 183) 21
    archerwin (He 111) 7
    KeroJP8 (B-1B) 7
    CPTKelley (F-18) 19
    Holdfast (Bf 109E) 17
    JPTRR(Me 262) 27
    jetprovost (Pembroke) 15


The most number of 1st choice votes went to CPTKelley (F-18) with 6 (18 points).
The most number of 2nd choice votes went to betheyn (F-86 ) with 8 (16 points).
The most number of 3rd choice votes went to Holdfast (Bf 109E) with 7 (7 points).

28 members cast their votes, 10 more than last month, but the turnout was only 8, less than half the record of 19, but we had the Spitfire MOM running as well. No ladies again this time but we live in hope for the coming months, well done to everyone who entered, nice to see some new faces again and a nice spread of different eras, cool.

Voting was quite close between the eventual 1st and 2nd places until the second page when the eventual winner began to edge in front. It was nice to see a Luft 46 entry doing well (bodes well for my Ta 183 ) It was also gratifying to see jetprovost's little vac formed Pembroke getting some well deserved votes as well as newish returnee to the hobby Lampie's Fw 190D.
Rest assured there were no bad models here so please don't be put off with entering again and remember you can enter a model up to 3 times. Well done all those that entered and thanks for the votes

The results, well done all:

1st betheyn F-86 35 points


2nd JPTRR Me 262 27 points


3rd wingman Ta 183 21 points

Hi all!

Congratulations to the winners and to all who have participated! Thanks also to those who have voted and of course to Mal for running the show...

Am I wrong or is this the second "Show your Teeth" entry to win the MoM in a row?

Hi All,

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I can be painful deciding which mere three of such an offering of excellent kits to vote for! I often change my mind several times before casting my votes, and spend a good deal of time clicking back and forth between photos of entries.
