Last Month's Meeting

     We saw the final results of the Eagle Squadron 4th Fighter Group build, which resulted in nine models on the table –- a good showing.  We had a Hurricane II (Tony Leger), a Spitfire V (Bill Lumbattis), a P-47D and P-51B (Woody Griffin), a P-51D (Clyde Mills), a P-51D and F-86F (William Reece), a F-86F (Lee Griffin), and an F-100C (Lee Kolosna).  Thanks to all of the members who participated and I'm sure we'll make good use of these models in the future for club displays.


This Month's Meeting

     Woody Griffin will give a demonstration of how to fashion navigation and landing lights on aircraft models.
