Hello fellow modellers! I would really like to come this year. I usually travel to Washington every year for a religious pilgrimage, but this show looks to be a real winner that I would like to come for the event. I was at the 2005 show in Milwaukee and was dissapointed with the turnout but enjoyed seeing Oskosh and the airplane model contests.

If I go I hope there will be a huge turnout of enthusiasts who will bring their built models! There were some really excellent ones in Milwaukee but after seeing photos of recent shows in the years past, some have had contests with a huge number of entries, that's what I hope to see. I build Hasegawa 1/200 scale kits and would love to join those who have built the same kits of various airlines in modelling contests and see the modelling experience the others have. The Hasegawa 747 kits I noticed at these shows tend to be the "blue ribbon" of 1/200 airliner kits built by the most experienced modellers. I'm sure some might think differently but that's okay I'm open to hearing of experiences of those who build the Hasegawa, Revell and other brand kits.

Airfares don't look too bad right now but its a bit too early to plan, but I'm tempted to come anyway! Again, hope to see some more airliner kits this year! Anyone else going this year?
