How the awards work
Awards are decided at different levels of judging. Each group below says how far its awards reach — the whole show, a single category or a class of entrants — and an entry can win at more than one level. Where awards are listed as "any one of the following" they are alternatives: an entry receives at most one of them.

What is the Kittyhawk Cup?
The Kittyhawk is a special ScaleACT category where all entrants build the same kit observing a set of simple rules, which are;
Construction:
The model must be built using only the numbered parts contained within the box and the basic shape of the model may not be altered.
The following exceptions are allowed;
Kit parts may be refined, as long as the basic shape remains unchanged. Exhausts, gun barrels and air inlets may be opened up, tyres may be flattened at ground contact.
Filler, surfacing materials and scrap plastic may be used to rectify gaps and defects, but may not be used to enhance or add detail.
Panel lines may be re-scribed after construction or to correct inaccuracies.
You may add antennas/aerials, seat-belts and/or rigging wires from any material or aftermarket accessory.
