Greetings my fellow ModelGeeks, and welcome to the MGPC Episode 129!  Nemo hosts this episode, with a full house including D-RAN!!!  Welcome back again Darrin!!!  We chat about the latest and greatest in everyone's model world and get caught up with what's happening in the hobby.  
The mail bag was full again with over 15 emails, which is awesome!  We really appreciate the emails and love hearing from you all.  Also, thanks again for the listener gallery submissions.  Please keep the emails and gallery pics coming and we can't wait to see your work, discuss them on the podcast, and present them on our website.
For the main topic, we talk about Accuracy and Judging.  Should it play a part in the judging process?? Maybe... maybe not.   Organizations like AMPS have accuracy as part of their judging criteria whereas IPMS does not.   We give our thoughts and opinions on what we believe and dive into the details.  It's a great topic and we hope you all give it a listen.
Please feel free to interact with us through social media, Facebook, Instagram, and email:  contact@modelgeekspodcast.com

Welcome to Episode 128 of The Modelgeeks Podcast! 
After a small bit of banter, we share what is on our bench and what we have picked up lately.  We then cover Mail Call (keep the cards & letters coming folks!).  Don’t forget Listener Spotlight.  
For our Patreon Giveaway, courtesy of LionHeart Hobby we have the Eduard 1/48 PBY-5A Catalina.
Our main topic is “Spitfires, Part 1b”.  El Prez opened up his references and leads a modeler’s discussion of the Spitfire Mk V and VI.  If you’d like to follow along with his notes you can download them here.
We would like to thank all our listeners out there for the continued support you have given the show. We hope to see you out and about as we hit the show circuit. If you happen to see us at a show come on over and say hello, we may even put you in front of the mic!
