170: September 2017 Meeting Minutes

We had 16 members with 17 models attend.

We discussed a group build of the Burma Banshees; late model P-40s (N-1 and N-5) in 1/72nd scale.  Dave graciously offered up decals for the known nose art aircraft and these were distributed to members who wanted to build one for a display next year.  Once shown at the display tables we take our models home and proudly display them on our shelves.

We also discussed a group build of King Kong '33 diorama.  Essentially 4 of us will convert the Revell 1/72nd scale PT-17 to look similar to the aircraft used in the film.  John agreed to scratch King Kong and the top of the Empire State building.  Another display for the show tables and then take them home.
