Interesting that four of the six judges are established modeling names and Revell is not represented at all.

THE JUDGES:

1) Bill Bozgan, writer and Research Consultant to Ford Licensing and Archives;

2) Roy Sorenson, publisher/editor of Model Car Builder model car magazine;

3) Bill Coulter, Author of many books on model car building including "The Directory of Model Car Kits" and feature article writer for Model Cars magazine;

4) David Thibodeau, Regular feature article contributor to Model Cars and Scale Auto magazines and winner of Best in Show at the NNL East contest;

5) Bob Downie, Regular feature article contributor in Scale Auto magazine and officer at ACME Model Car Club; and

6) Stacey David, host/executive producer of Stacey David's GearZ on Speed Channel, and a builder of hot rods and model cars ("Panel").

That is some group of judges!!!

I think Stacey listened to the complaints and seems to have responded! And remember...Revell is in it to SELL kits...So we choose!!

I may just try my hand this year. Looks like a distinguished bunch doing the judging.

Don't gripe about what "should" be on the list. This is a promotional endeavor for Revell. They don't care if you already have one of their kits (They do, but that's not the point of the contest). They want, well really need, new sales. I think it is a great way to promote the hobby.

What? 1966 SS 396 isn't on the list!!

All the kits on the list are currently in production. They're not going to include kits that are either oop or not released/reissued.

There are plenty of them that are in production, even listed on their own site that would fit this contest. Maybe it's an over supply issue ? Trying to boost the sales of a few that have been slow movers? Who knows. Beggars can't be choosers,
