Since this is done via the internet and then models will be photgraphs, I think we can forgo point E

Here are the 2008 IPMS OOB Rules:
 
2. OUT-OF-THE-BOX entries will be governed by the following rules:

    A. KITS. Any commercially available kit may be used. Any parts provided in the kit may be used,
regardless of their material (i.e., brass, resin, plastic, etc.). Generally, only parts that are included with the
kit and found in the bag or box may be used. As provided above, exemptions may be allowed but must be
approved by the respective Head Judge in advance of the judging.

    B. FINISH. All finishing techniques are allowed. Decals other than those included with the kit may be
used. Insignia, markings, and instrument panels may be hand-painted instead of decaled. Weathering is
permitted.

    C. CONSTRUCTION. The modeler may fill seams and gaps; sand off rivets; drill out gun ports, exhaust
pipes, or other appropriate openings; thin to scale such parts as trailing edges, flaps, and doors; re-scribe
panel lines lost in construction; and add rigging and antennas.

    D. IT IS NOT PERMITTED TO: vacuform, manufacture, or replace any part, or substitute parts from
another kit; cut or separate canopies, surfaces, hatches, doors, etc. (no major surgery); combine a standard
kit with a conversion kit; add anything other than specified on the instruction sheet except as shown in
Section C above or specifically exempted by the respective Head Judge.

    E. INSTRUCTION SHEETS. Modelers must attach at least the first page of the kit instruction sheet to
the entry form and have the rest of the instruction sheet accessible to the judges for review during judging
(preferably, directly under the table from the model). Models entered without an attached kit instruction sheet
will not be considered for an Out-of-the-Box award.

Hope these are useful in the discussions,
John
