The competition was fierce in the first National Model Car Championships, sponsored by Stacey David’s GearZ and Revell. Many proud model builders put their most impressive craftsmanship and attention to detail on the task — and gave the judges quite a challenge to pick the best!

But tough decisions must be made. The winners have been selected, and you’ll find their names and photos of their exceptional work on this page.

Entrants were asked to build one of any 22 eligible Revell or Monogram Hot Model Kits. Serving as judges was this panel of pros: Stacey David, Drew Hiewarter, Jason Sakurai, Roy Sorenson, and Dr. Marc Weller. Thanks to them for their keen eyes, and big congratulations to our champions!

The winning entries will be on GearZ on SPEED Channel:
