Model Car Contest 2022 HMCA 42nd Annual Show

HMCA (Hoosier Model Car Association) put on their 42nd Annual Model Car Contest in Franklin, IN. at the Johnson County Fairgrounds May 21, 2022.
The tables were loaded with GREAT builds! Over in the Swap Meet area several bargains were found along with some "hard to find" kits.
Round 2 and Moebius were there showing "future" releases while Jimmy Flintstone and Jo-Han were there with plenty to offer too.

Wow, memories of my childhood popping back in my head! How many of those kits I built in 60's and 70's and 80's. Most of these maybe reissues. I only have a couple left I built back then. Love checking these shows out Tim, thanks

Looks like it was a great show with some really amazing builds! Thank you for sharing another video Tim! I had mentioned I live out here in ‘Crazytown’ USA, (California). For a while the only way I could see model car shows was through your videos and a few others on You tube so, always enjoying seeing other people’s builds, I really appreciate it. I have joined up with a club in Yuba City that put on a car show in November and there are a couple more around here that are rescheduled for June. The NNL West is June 25 in Santa Clara, so, fingers crossed, I’ll be seeing more live in person soon. Keep the videos coming!

The Tom Daniels kit at 2:54 I have not seen that one before. I always was big on Tom Daniels kits especially as a kid (60's) thought I've seen them all. I seen somewhere on these videos he designed 85 kits and I can remember about 40 of them. I've got to go to some of these shows and check out the vendors section to try and find some of this stuff.
