Contest issue.

Sorry,I wasn’t exactly sure where to post this,but Scale Auto Contest Cars issue was out on the stands at Barnes,& Noble.

No problem.I think it’s great how SAE has just enough,I guess in their budget,to put out this issue every few months,or more common,one issue per year.But idk,did SAE go under,?I have not seen it at the book store in a long time.They got rid of a lot of great magazines.There are some nice models in this issue…Pick  up a copy.

Thanks. I will check the book store by the Gardiner Mall on Sunrise by me.

It was a great magazine, I have been in them between 1999 and maybe 2012.

Their forum was decent at the time. Some big time modelers took part in the discussions.

Yea it was a great rag.Like I said,at least they put out their Contest issue still..I had one models of mine,make it into the magazine.Its from 96,a blue Lindberg unmarked police CV car.It was from the show that was held at the Raddison(spelling)?,or the Hilton,I can’t remember which,on the North side of the LIE.Which is the casino/ hotel Jake’s 58.I too have boxes filled with copies of SAE, and other model car magazines..🙄Gotta get rid of some.

Kalmbach folded SAE into Finescale Modeler. There was a lot of consternation about that, and their model car coverage has been much reduced since then.

My 1st ever show was there in 1998 and my '65 Ford stock car made the annual that year.

I don't think it was the Jake's place. It was on Motor Parkway. 

We used to do the show with the Suffolk Scale Modelers club, which has folded.

It was a great venue, it even had a bar 🍸. I won best of show at the 1999 contest with a '58 Chevy custom. They had to find me, in the bar.. I thought they were pulling my leg.
