[WWI] Voss D.III on floats

[John Huggins]

I know some of the "What IFs" are purely speculation, and most of the  
smaller events don't have a lot of speciality categories.  Doesn't  
the person who spent the time making the conversion deserve as much  
of a look as the person who spent the same amount of time on a  
documented model.  If the basics are done, the model is still a model  
just like yours, and deserves the same consideration.  A very well  
built model is just that, a well built model.

 From my past experience,  most of the "What Ifs" are rarely built to  
the same degree as the documented types.  There are usually alignment  
or construction flaws which would cause it to be passed over.

  How would you feel if you entered a contest, and the aircraft  
categories were only 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 and larger, and your model  
was disqualified because it had two wings and rigging mixed in with a  
bunch of WWII and modern models.
