Last Month's Meeting

     We had our annual holiday meeting, highlighted by dozens of beautiful models.  The gift exchange saw the usual numerous and devious swaps of kits.  Who knew that people would be so protective of a 1/32 scale Fw 190?  We had excellent food from Smithfield Chicken and Barbecue as well as treats brought in some of the members.


Haywood Griffin Most Improved Modeler Award

     Congratulations to Steve Cappelson, who was given this prestigious award by his peers in recognition of the tremendous strides he has taken as a modeler since joining the club.  Steve received a Hobby Boss 1/48 scale F-105G Thunderchief kit
