About Our Theme
There will be "Out of the Box" awards in all regular Senior categories, PLUS an over all "Best Out of the Box", theme trophy.
"OUT OF THE BOX" entries will be governed by the following rules:
KITS: Any commercially available kit may be used.
FINISH: All finishing techniques are allowed. Decals other than those included with the kit may be used. Insignia, markings, and instrument panels may be hand-painted in place of decals. Weathering is permitted.
CONSTRUCTION: The modeler may fill seams and gaps; sand off rivets; drill out gun ports, exhaust pipes, or other appropriate openings; thin to scale thickness such parts as trailing edges, flaps, and doors; add rigging and antennas; and add simple tape or decal seat belts in the cockpit of an aircraft or the interior of a vehicle. NO commercial or modeler manufactured hardware (e.g., buckles, etc.) may be used.
NOT PERMITTED: The modeler may NOT vacuform, manufacture, cast, or replace any part, or substitute parts from another kit; cut or separate canopies, surfaces, hatches, doors, etc. (no major surgery); combine a standard kit with a conversion kit; add anything other than what is specified on the instruction sheet except as specifically mentioned in the CONSTRUCTION section above.
INSTRUCTION SHEETS: Modelers must attach the kit instruction sheet to the entry form. Models entered without an attached kit instruction sheet will not be considered for an "Out of the Box" award.
