Our first virtual armor/photo contest is now complete and I am happy to announce the winner is Werner Kampfhofer with his beautiful
M4A4 Sherman. The voting was very close though with 2 other entries only 1 and 2 votes behind. Thank goodness I didn't have a plan for a tie vote!
I would like to congratulate all the entrants on excellent models. It truly was hard to make a single choice from such a great field.
I am sure everyone wants to know when the next contest will start. I am waiting on the prize package from Mission Models so I can obviously photograph it and list the items. Stay tuned!
Thanks to all who participated!

Werner,
Awesome Sherman! Won't say who I voted for
but I think the right model won, although it was sure hard to choose!
Great job by all!!
