This 1/72 model of the Athabaska is also scratch built by fellow IPMS'r Jim Rutlidge, a three year project totally built from scratch with the exception of the anchor chains!  

The FW 190's etc. were my entery in the collections class, took third place (damn these clever kids and their skillfull building).  :-)

The 1/48 F-15 and P47 both took awards, built by friend and fellow IPMS'r Lorenzo Vitali.
