Our Chicago Hobby Show report got so large with the additional information and photographs that we couldn't put it all here on the home page with the contest winners' photographs! 1/87 vehicle modeling appears on the verge of achieving "critical mass" and from the information gleaned from the Chicago Hobby Show this year there will be some very exciting new developments and product announcements coming your way over the next year or two. This has certainly been the case over the last several years and the pace appears to be accelerating! Good times are indeed coming our way. To check out all the latest (and definitely not the last), go to the 2001 Chicago Hobby Show Report. [posted 09/10/2001]
