I have never built any 1/43 scale, but if I'm alive I'll be there Looks like a lot of fun. I remember when there were 1/24 shows in Hinsdale back when I got into the hobby again

This show is open to all scales. We have a special class for high quality 1/43rd models. Bring your 1/24th models. We have a class for those also, as long as they are road racing/F1/Indy/FIA/Lemans/Sportscars and pre 1971 vintage stockcars.

Would a box stock AMG Mercedes S600 coupe street car have a class? How about motorcycles? I do have some racing stuff I could enter but, was wondering about the about the class layout.

Hi Mark,

You can enter the AMG under sportcars and the motorcycle under its scale class as long as its not a custom or chopper(FIA race bikes or high performance bikes allowed). No Customs or Nascar. Road cars must be sportscars. A road Corvette, Porsche, Alfa, Aston Martin, Ferrari ect. is a sportscar, a Honda Civic is not. The venue is for sportscars/road racing/Lemans/F1/Indy/FIA/Trans Am/FIA touring cars/DTM ect, in all scales. Must be hand built by the person entering(you can enter for someone else if they can't make it but their model can). No prebuilts or diecasts allowed as this is a model building contest. We would prefer the models be on display between 10AM-3PM. We will judge them at 2PM.

If it's really well built you can bring them, but they will not fit into the theme wich is for racecars/sportscars. We had a few models that were well built but did not fit into the theme just displayed last year.

If it has flames and candy apple red paint leave it home.

Only 2 weeks until Ferrari Expo.

We will have a suprise very limited new Ferrari kit on display(not done by Scale Designs). I will only have 1 for sale. I have been told by the Manufacturer to not say what car it is. Only a few dealers will have it, none of them in the USA. It is not 1/43rd scale.

Don't forget, the best model of show winner will walk away with a $200.00 gift certificate from Strada Sports.
