Beautiful large Scale Models seen at Brodak Contest

I hope that there are better pictures taken with the planes out of the trailer. I belive these are Ed Mason ? Airplanes, We had to leave Wednesday pm so I regret not seeing them fly. Hands down the most beautiful Scale planes I have ever seen. The craftsmanship was immaculate to say the
least.

Yeah, Ed only does it one way....big and with four engines!  Bigger flies better...

Hope he had the Constellation there, that model flies really good

I have had the good fortune to be a judge at the C/L scale Nats for the last 4 years and just love to see Ed's ships fly.Don't remember the B-29......maybe it's new for this year.I'll see it up close and personal next week.

Yeah the B-29 is new, this replaces the one he had flying a few years back. We will have two B-29's at the Nats this year, Mine and Ed's

I am ready to pack the car and start driving out to Muncie....that will be on Thursday

Ed comes from Florida so he might not make it to the NW Regionals

Yeah, I did not really expect him to, more about the level of competativeness, and preparedness,,
