Sunday marked the 95th anniversary of the death of Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron. To honor his accomplishments as a pilot and leader, I am hosting the MvR Tribute painting contest.
Who: Any registered Wings of War Aerodrome member.
What: Painting Contest.
When: 1 June 2013 is the deadline for entries.
Winner chosen by: Community vote.
Rules:
- One entry per member
- Miniature must be an aircraft type flown operationally by MvR (not training or testing, see list below) . The plane could have been flown by another pilot, but the type had to have been flown by MvR. This opens up several German plane types to paint!
