2002 IPMS Nationals Model Highlights

The following Reference Page contains nearly 120 photos of models I saw at the IPMS 2002 National Convention, organised by scale and by category.

Like all the other collections of photos, these are the models the photographer (that's me) found interesting. They are mainly jet aircraft with a couple dioramas. I will apologize now for snubbing the propeller aircraft and most of the WWII German aircraft. I was most interested in the categories where I competed (1/48 scale Jets -- Small and Medium), so these make up the lion's share of the pictures. Models that I really liked got more than one picture taken.

I took the pictures Friday afternoon when most of the models were present. I probably missed a few in the two 1/48th scale jet categories, but I did at least try to get them all.
 

1/48th Scale Jets -- Small

This was a large category that ended up in about a four-way slpit.
