2023 IPMS Nationals Recap and Kotare Spitfire final thoughts

Lots of interesting things happening this year at the IPMS Nationals. I will briefly talk about the controversy going around as well as my results. I also discuss my final review of the Kotare Spitfire.

Nice recap of the IPMS Nationals. Mig's session was the highlight of the event for me. I talked to him briefly at the spray gunner table too, he was really friendly and humble like you said. Congratulations on your awards!

[@WasatchModeler]

Thanks for sharing!

Great video, very nice Spitfire, I do not build aircraft for competition, only for a change of pace, armor in my forte. I was able to speak to Mig as well, great guy, He was gracious enough to take photo with my friend and I. I unfortunately missed his seminar, I was called away for a little bit. The Nats were held this year 40 minutes from my house. A truly once in a lifetime event for me.

Glad to see you aren't giving up the channel. I have learned several things from you and I mainly do armor builds. I could not imagine putting in all that work in a model and watching a judge pick it up and break it. 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Thank you so much

Thanks for making the IPMS Nats recap video! I had planned to attend, but had to cancel a month ago. I'm very happy to know you're not giving up on your channel. You have some great content and insight! Hope to see you in Madison next year!

Congratulations! Love your work and the channel. Hope to meet up at a model show.

[@WasatchModeler]

Thank you

Congrats on the 3rd place looks fantastic. That black and white isn’t D Day though it was a early war RAF fighter scheme to help the observer corps identify aircraft

[@WasatchModeler]

Thanks for the correction

[@jeffjay2225]

3rd place is nothing to sneeze at. That said, I do this hobby for the joy of the hobby and thats why I'm here watching your channel. By the way, I live in the wasatch front.

[@WasatchModeler]

Thanks! You should come to an ipms meeting. We need more of your mentality there

[@ITOWords]

Lovely spit

Did the wildcat have the new style decal? How did that go?

[@WasatchModeler]

It did have the new ones. With good decal application, they go on fine without the removal of the film
