I had the pleasure of conducting a Make -N-Take with Boy Scout Troupe 323 in Baldwin Pa, on 16 March 2011.

This was a fantastic evening with almost 30 scouts present and great modeling challenges. I gave a short presentation on building a B-26 from Monogram and displayed the completed project. The scouts listened attentively and I kept it short. The kits provided by IPMS were greatly appreciated and a couple guys finished one and started another. I have attached photos of the event and hope to pass along the link to the scouts when posted.

Thank You all for your support.

From Jim Brooks: As the club contact For IPMS CARS in Miniature Model Car Club I want to thank IPMS for all the great help we get from you.

The insurance coverage for all our events, the Make n Takes, Show and Tells and the Model Contests we hold or do, we are a very active club in all of these areas.

The Make n Take program IPMS has in effect is what the club feels is the best tool our club has to bring new members into a club meeting and hopefully join. Both adult and youth level, our family membership plan seems to be the best as it covers everyone in the family.

2010 USN/USMC/USCG 1/72 Aircraft Kit Survey

J. Michael McMurtrey - skyking918@verizon.net

As 2011 marks the centennial of U.S. naval aviation, aircraft modelers might be interested in this list of US naval aircraft — including those of the Marines and Coast Guard, as well as captured enemy aircraft tested by the US Navy — which are available as 1/72 scale kits. Why 1/72? There are far more kits of naval aircraft available in this scale than any other. Plus, it’s my favorite, in spite of advancing age and weakening eyes.
