145: August Show and Tell

The August Meeting had a dual theme.  First up was "Amnesty", any project which didn't meet the deadline for a previous theme.  And the second theme was a group build of the AMT 1:48 P-40.  There were two P-40 builds and three Amnesty builds.  There were also three completed builds and five in-progress builds.
