In Response To: For once, it is a pretty easy jump for me to get to the show - what is the best day to go to Ft. Wayne? *NM* ()

Been to a couple of IPMS Nats, 2000 in Dallas, and 2023 in San Marcos, Texas. Maybe if the Nats were in Region 6 again (TX, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana). Texas seems to host the Nats only once every 25 years or so (2023 was aa 'anomaly', as it was supposed to be in 2020, except that the Nats were postponed due to the Covid pandemic...hey, I just realized that that was something I could blame on Dr. Anthony Fauci...LOL!

Heard from a fellow IPMS member who keeps his ears and eyes open for what goes on behind the scenes at IPMS, that there's a possibility that MORE Nats might be held in the 'inland' regions in the future...the coastal Regions are discovering that finding a venue to hold the Nationals is getting a bit too expensive on both coasts...

At IMPS NATS R2 AMT is showing two Dodge VAN kits based on the IMC LRW tooling......
- I'm more interested in the new release OBS Chevy 454SS pickup with full underhood details new wheels etc and the conversion of the AMT '76 Ford 4X4 to a shortbox, I'd bet some here will be interested in the Sox&Martin '72 Duster too. *NM*
