Judging
The Wings judges are
thoroughly expert on every aspect of aviation modeling and entries are
judged
on a combination of just three simple criteria:
Accuracy of detail, Quality of Finish and where appropriate, originality
and/or inventiveness.
The Judging panel consists of a cross section of representatives of the
museum and the various clubs
participating in the event. Judging is made on the Saturday evening
after the closing of the museum
and the awards are placed out early on the Sunday afternoon.
CONDITIONS
OF COMPETITION
Model Subject
Models must be of
aircraft or of an aviation theme, and where the aviation theme is not an
aircraft
i.e. for instance where the missile's Transport vehicle is the predominant
portion of the model,
e.g. Scud, Patriot or MLRS, the model will be considered to be an
"armour model"
and therefore not eligible to compete in Wings except as part of a Diorama.
Models which have gained an award in a previous Wings competition are not
eligible for entry in this year's competition.
Note :For Wings 2006 onwards, (unlike previous
years) Helicopter models are not provided a separate competition,
category or class, but are invited as aircraft in the main categories)
Entrants
own work
Models must be
built and completed by the entrant alone without assistance from another

Judging
Judging is to be based
on the IPMS/USA Competition Handbook and is made on the Saturday evening
