PICS (1:25) Paul, I was holding off to see if anyone else would answer your questions. Most model...
in the U.S. ARE, in fact, competitive events but the regional NNL's are held just for the fun and camaraderie. Competitive events have different classes, roughly equivalent to what you might see at a 1:1 car show, and while it's VERY rare that a builder will sell his or her jewel, there are vendor areas at all these events selling all kinds of stuff. You can find just about anything you might want from these sellers at a big show like this, from custom made decals, to new or obsolete plastic kits and from a HUGE array of aftermarket parts and resin bodies of obscure cars to complete resin kits of heavy trucks. Dave Natale in Egg Harbor, N.J. is a hopeless truckie and has made an enormous commitment to the production of high quality resin models of American heavy trucks at his American Industrial Truck Models. His catalog lists everything from parts to cab only kits to complete truck kits that cost well over $100. Here are a few examples of his stuff from my 35mm files that I saw at the 2008 NNL East....Here's a Mack LT "in the raw".... ...and a completely finished Mack LM in a livery that should be familiar to anyone who grew up in the metro New York area in the 1950's.... Here's his fabulous Mack B81 mixer.... ...and the classic Mack H63 cabover....
