Tim,
I feel a little awkward being lumped in like this.... I simply offered straight facts to answer the mans question, no opinions at all.
By the way, my entry was scratch build from my own design.
If you want an opinion... I am all for some recognition for scratch builders. (I finished 3rd in 'Masters' class in Top Gun this year, that is a designer class.)

I can understand the answers that you have all given,I can also comprehend the expense and development time that people like Bob Violet put into their products ,but isnt it time that the IJMC recognised individual , scratch scale builders on an even playing field .I know that weighting the marks for or against scratch / professionally developred models would be difficult but it would increase credibility of "scale" jet modeling.
