In Response To: Is there going to be a Contest Cars issue for 2026? ()

....Noble or hobby store...

And as far as I know, there will be a 2026 Contest Cars issue. BTW, note that they are now using the Scale Auto logo on the Contest Cars issues and on at least one downloable articles collection.

My understanding is that the status of the magazine publishing world (in terms of financials and logistics) makes it highly unlikely that Scale Auto will ever return as a stand-alone bi-monthly magazine, but I do think that the FineScale /FireCrown team increasingly recognizes that there is residual value in the Scale Auto brand.

Just my 2 cents on the subject...TB
