Are we gonna have a Concours vote based on the pictures?

Thanks for all the great pics! Who belongs to the Mustang?

The photos were done by Gerry Glier. I only uploaded them.

Another concourse winner using VGs.

Nice to see that at the absolute TOP level.

What are VGs? Inquiring minds want to know ...

That's one gigantic pool of elbow grease and several pounds of finishing material. Thanks for the photos!

I believe Todd Lee is the builder/owner. He does real nice work and has won the concours before with a Spitfire.

Thanks for the pictures, Peter. Although too many models are "too busy" with distracting decoration, I sometimes get paint scheme ideas from looking at other's efforts.

Do you mean "all tarted up" Floyd?

Warren Wagner · « **Reply #37 on:** July 15, 2020, 10:09:46 AM »

Peter,

Thank you and Gerry for taking the time to take the photos and post them.

The individual shots are great, especially for the appearance judging.

"We owe you one."

Cheers.

Both front-row planes had VGs. I didn't see them on anybody else's. I reprimanded Paul for not having VGs that match his paint. He could have had 20 appearance points.

I like the color selection on the Aries.

Mine match.

Yes I saw Pauls was also front row.

I think his were "Canadian Clear" that still get style points.

I saw another scholarly paper that had them at 10% chord. I suggested that Paul try that. He did and reported that they work better where you told us to put them.

I'm not accusing anyone of '"ugly": and certainly not "tarted".

Sometimes these ultra-complex paint schemes make me dizzy just looking!

I hope high appearance points are not awarded based on number of colors and complexity of paint scheme.

Appearance finish on the models will really show outdoors during twilight with the bun fire on the background...
Sunshine ruins everything))

Tom, nice paint job! (I won’t ask about sleepless nights)

Will anybody guess the difference on the pictures of the same model besides asphalt, grass, and VG?

Jerry,

Interesting to find out the pilots perception of improvement with and without VG tech.
