The winner among 1/72 jets built without modifications was Göran Fransson's SAAB J35J Draken.
The kit is Hasegawa.

open99_aa2p.jpg (23590 bytes)Same scale, same building technique (no modifications), propeller division. An old but very neat Matchbox kit of Supermarine Stanraer served as a basis of Sören Strand's model.

open99_aa3h.jpg (18419 bytes)Larger-scale helicopter class has been won by Johan Hugogård and the Hughes OH-6 TOW
in 1/48th scale.

Unfortunately, the main rotor had been damaged before Peter took the photo.

This class could be described as "unmodified" jet aircraft models in quarter scale.
Won by the F-84G Thunderjet from Claes Wahlund. Tamiya's kit.

open99_aa3p.jpg (24527 bytes)Propeller aircraft models of the same category formed the second most numerous class of the competition. The worthy winner was built by Claes Wahlund (again). Claes utilised Tamiya's F-4U-1 Birdcage Corsair for this model.

open99_aa4.jpg (29469 bytes)Hans Percy is known to many by his love for F-4 Phantom, which he already modelled on countless occasions.

This 1/32 replica of F-4C in Michigan ANG markings is certainly one of his best!

Needless to say, the winner of large scale aircraft class.

open99_ab2j.jpg (20165 bytes)Competition class designated AB2j covered jet aircraft models in small scales (typically 1/72), freely enhanced and detailed.

Viktor Krogius took the first place with this esoteric subject of GAF Jindivik pilotless drone.
Same category, propeller aircraft, and Viktor Krogius again: North American P-51A Mustang in 1/72nd scale.
