Animal Set 56 and 57 are both ‘scavengers, one set is vultures eating a bovine carrion, and the other is a pack of what appear to be hyenas Upcoming Shows Aug 10 -’24 Virginia Shootout 100 Roanoke BLVD- This is a Region 2 show put on by IPMS Roanoke Valley 2024 Virginia ShootOut | IPMS/USA Home Page (ipmsusa.org) August 24th ‘Bash to the 80’s Modelfest PBN Church IPMS Flight 19 ModelFest '24 | Flight 19 I.P.M.S.
