Tri-State Warbird Museum Exhibit Matthew Davis matthewdavis@insightbb.com This July we swapped out the older models at the TSWM and plugged in a whole bunch of Corsairs. Sometime in March/April next year we will swap out the display and will go with the B-25 Mitchell and T-6 Texan. We are open to a/c from 1/72 to 1/32. That gives you six months to complete a model! Some members have come and gone, so right now I have two P-47s and one P-40 left over from previous displays. If you or someone you know is missing a model please let me know. CSM logo items - People may want to purchase more items to wear to the contest with the CSM logo on it. The company we use is EmbroidMe and they carry hats, t-shirts, sweat shirts, jackets, tote bags etc. They are at Reed Hartman Highway, Cincinnati, Ohio, ( ) Walk in, view items in the showroom and tell them you want the CSM logo on it - probably listed under Tom Bebout or CSM. The people in the store are very helpful! The monogrammed shirts we had printed last summer can still be made from the master plan, so go for that extra shirt, or a new one. Wear it to the October contest! 3
