Elections
We're due for officer elections, let’s say in March this year. Anyone wanting to overthrow the government
now is your chance. That gives people 2 months to decide if they want to run. Thanks, Don Flynn

- Don't forget to build a B-25 and or a T-6 for the TSWM. Any scale will work and we plan on trading them
out in April or May. I would like to purchase some Hasegawa P-47's in 1/48, bubbletop only please.
Matt Davis matthewdavis@insightbb.com
- Am looking for the 1/72 scale Matchbox Supermarine Stranraer as well as a Matchbox Twin Otter kit.
Also for any Doolittle Raider decals in 1/48th scale if anyone has some to spare. Doesn’t have to be a full
set just one plane is fine.

Kits for Iraq and Afghanistan
We collect and donate model kits and building supplies to
service members in Iraq and Afghanistan. They’re not on duty 24/7 and building models gives them a little
downtime. Please make kit or any supply donations to Mike Bailey. Mike collects kits at every meeting (did
you win a raffle kit that you really don’t want?) so clean out your closet.
Interested in writing an article or taking photos? The CSM Debrief is looking for
original info on models, workbench techniques, or Roadside Relics you may see. Send them to the editor for
possible publication. The “Debrief” is available by post or email. It is also posted each month on the CSM
club website: www.cincyipms.com and the Yahoo Group website. If you desire to read the Debrief in
glorious color, please send an email to the editor (Rob S.) to get onto the email list.
Yahoo Group – Cincinnati Scale Modelers has a webpage on Yahoo Groups plus our regular website

IPMS/USA Nationals 2011 and 2012
The IPMS/USA 2011 Convention will be held in Omaha, Nebraska August 3 - 6. The 2012 Convention
will be at Walt Disney World, Orlando, Florida in August 2012. Special convention hotel room rates will
apply in Florida at a savings.
CSM Oct. 2011 Contest – Don Flynn
I got Scarlet Oaks confirmed for Oct 1st 2011, and just did
the on-line stuff with IPMS. Now all we'll need is the art department to do a front page for the flyer so we
can get that to press long before the show season starts.
Anyone wanting to sponsor an award let me know soon. I'm going to go through our categories to see what
changes we might need. Given the numbers of models past couple years we might be able to cut the number
of splits in some categories down from 4 to 3 and save a little on awards. Don't worry, I have an idea what
we need and still carry a couple spare sets in case we do get hammered. I also want to make new signs for
the tables this year; the old ones have seen better days.
