On May 30th-31st took place the 5th “Pelikan Guys Model Contest” in Riccione, Central Italy. The Pelikan Guys Model Club is composed by active Italian Airforce Personell working on HH-3F Pelikan SAR helicopter. Some are PJ, some are ALSE technicians, others are flight line crews or administrative staffs with the common hobby of military modeling. Some are also ARC members of course.
As usual the Model Contest took place with families first in mind. That means that modelers with families were more than welcomed with special dinner and opportunities to spend some days visiting the region or entertainment center/amusement parks. More than 400 models were displayed inside the RiccioneTourism Palace. Model shops, quick assembling/ painting contest, Middle age re-enactors and WWII War Archeologist were also present. As usual a special prize was dedidated to the best SAR (Search and Rescue) model kit in memory of two HH-3F crews that lost their life on training recently. See you on May 2016! My nick nameon the ARC forums is "MAURIZIO" on ARC. The other ARCers are "Italycrew", "SPAD" and "Paolomaglio". Pelikan Guys- www.pelikanguys.it
