Toronto Hobby Show

by Wayne Bowman

I've attached pics of the only two large scale aircraft on display on the IPMS table at the Toronto Hobby show for 2001. The F-4D Phantom is mine and the Spitfire (I think its a Mk IX) belongs to Derek Pennington. Its a conversion of the Hasagawa Mk V using the Paragon conversion set. Derek did an article on the build for this model which was featured in Scale Aviation Modeller International magazine a few months ago. Unfortunately there wasn't anything more to photograph.

I've also included one more picture of what I call "Rhino Row". We had a table full of Phantoms. I think its good inspiration for the large scale guys, showing what an impact the size of a 1/32 aircraft can make when compared to the teeny tiny scale stuff around it.
