Hello friends!
I'm glad to let you know that the IPMS Club "Alamo Squadron" is ON to have its 35th Model Fiesta in San Antonio, Texas; on February 20th, 2016.
The Fiesta will be held in the San Antonio Event Center, with 55,000 square foot of scale modeling related activities. Among them are:
- Model Contest
- Hobby related stores
- Meet and greet World War II, Korea and Vietnam pilots
- Seminars (one of them is about Paper Modeling!!)
- Raffles
- Meet more modelers from around USA and Mexico
- Display table for non-contest models
- More things that I don't recall.
This year, we are going to accept paper models in the plastic categories, if the modeler wants to do so. Otherwise, paper models category is going to be available as well.
Our own 3Turner will be conducting a seminar on paper modeling. We are going to give away some models (if there are sponsorship, we will give away commercial pre-printed kits).
Some of the pilots are:
- Richard 'Dick' Cole, Jimmy Doolittle's co-pilot on airplane #1. He just turned 100 years young, and is one of the only 2 survivors of the Dollittle Raiders.
- General Frank Gailer, P-51 ace with Me-109's and FW-190's, and POW of the Germans.
- General Steve Ritchie, F-4 ace with 5 Mig-21 victories.
- Col. Dean Caswell - F4U ace and survivor of the Bunker Hill kamikaze attack.
- Col. J. B. Stone, F-4 pilot 1 Mig-21 victory and Robin Olds wingman.
- Col. Frank Frazier, F-86 & F-4 pilot with 2 Mig-15 victories.
- Local chapter of the Tuskegee Airmen pilots.
