Lee Turner’s RS-3
This year I actually took the time to find the model contest room. I’m glad I did.
I’ve seen photos of Lee Turner’s LV RS-3 online before. Seeing the model in real life was even better then seeing the photos.
The modeling displayed in the room was fantastic! Because of the contest the names were not displayed with the models. In some cases I knew the models and who built them.
I would have liked to known who did some of the work. I guess I’m spoiled by the RPM-Meets were the modelers show their work with their names displayed and are there to talk about the models also.

Thank you for post pictures of the contest models. There were some really nice models this year. The Russian Dec was a knockout. I like the MKT car. It is very similar to a new set of patterns I just finished up.
Happy Trails

That reminds me I have one more photo of the cab interior of the Russian Decopod that I need to post also.
I hope we are going to see those new patterns turn into a new kit some time soon.
