Response to So if I enter an aircraft in a 1/72 category . . .

But as I said, it's not because of the reasons you think. IIRR all host club models go in 1 category that is judged by the same guests you mention, not anyone in the host club themselves. The idea is they consider it more important the guest win their awards, not their own members.

I personally think it's a very noble idea, I'd love to do it that way myself at the show I manage (Cincinnati Scale Modelers annual event) but I know some of my more "competitive" club members wouldn't attend or help with the event....awards is their angle on the hobby. I myself only recently (past 2 years out of 10 running it) started entering my own event and it took many guys from other clubs to get me to do it...even then I disqualify myself from anything outside of a "place category' award (no best of or special awards)...and I might not enter my show again this year.

As I said, don't rob yourself of a good event thinking the wrong thing....
