Any scale from 1/43 through 1/8 is acceptable. 1/43 builders are encouraged to enter!

So that we may all properly judge your entry, please submit at least four clear, in-focus, well-lit images of your model. Also include as many details of the actual car that you can. Photos of the actual car would be great, but are not required.

You can submit your entry any time after September 1, 2003. See the Contact page for where to send your entry. The deadline for entries is January 31, 2004. That gives all of you plenty of time to complete your model.

PRIZES: Fisher Model and Pattern have generously offered to award at least one of their Can-Am kits as a prize in this contest. So keep that in mind when planning your entry!
