Information on Best Canadian Subject at US IPMS Nats, via IPMS Canada

[lgriffin]

From IPMS Canada, here is information on the Best Canadian Subject at the U.S. National convention sponsored by IPMS Canada:

---------------------------------------------------------------

As always, IPMS Canada will be sponsoring a "Best 
Canadian
 Subject" award at the IPMS USA 2015 Nationals in Columbus, Ohio this summer. Last year we didn't really get around to advertising it until well into the summer, which is really too late to start building an entry. This year we're trying to give folks a better heads-up while the half-built models are still on the bench. So... if you can pass along this information to your chapter members – a note in your newsletter, a mention at your next meeting, or whatever – we'd be grateful. We hope to have lots of entries!


So... just what is a "Canadian" subject?


To qualify for the award, your entry has to be identifiably and distinctly Canadian in its markings, and use.

Canadian Forces, Royal Canadian Air Force, Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Army subjects would obviously qualify.

Some other 'Yes' examples would be:
• an RCMP police car
• an Airbus A320 in Air Canada markings
• a figure of Canadian fighter pilot Buzz Beurling
• a model of the schooner Bluenose
• a Canadian Churchill tank at Dieppe

Some 'Sorry, but no' examples would be:
• a plain-painted vehicle sporting provincial plates
• a Space Shuttle with the Canadarm
• a Ram tank used by the Dutch Army
• a Belgian CF-100
• a Canadian-built Royal Navy Corvette
