Sixteen people joined the meeting. It was confirmed that Mosquitocon in Wayne and AMPS in Danbury have been cancelled for 2020. Nothing definite yet on the Hudson Valley show in Poughkeepsie. The news that Hobby Boss is releasing 1/32 scale A 26 Invader led to a discussion of other company's upcoming releases. It looks like they all decided to make the same kit. Speaking of the same kit, In case you missed the meeting we had a first for the Random Number Raffle. The winner won the kit he donated to the raffle. He got an alternate prize and the Titanic went back into storage. Don't worry, you'll see it again. We saw some interesting stencils for camouflage - stiff metal, flexible plastic, different patterns, different scales. They can produce nice paint jobs, but so can sponge fragments. We saw a whole lot of Works in Progress and completed kits: F15 E, F 100, Mig21, F22, F4 Phantom, Me 109z, M4A1, 1920 pattern RR Armored Car, Panther A, USS Massachusetts, Vosper, SS United States, Apollo/Soyuz and Apollo/LEM combinations. Really nice work. If you have time, post some photos to a "What are you working on" email string the group email address. The next meeting is June 30 at 8 pm. Invites to follow. See you then.
