A fun laid back-back show for armor and figure enthusiasts set amongst REAL historic artifacts!
The theme for Winterblitz 2025 is America's Vietnam War. We will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of America's involvement. Any armor that was used in the Vietnam War from 1954 to 1965. Although we are commemorating America's involvement, ALL counties are eligible for the theme award and also includes Cambodia and Laos.
Helicopters entered in the special United States Helicopters in Vietnam War (Category 7000) are eligible to win.
Tank of the Year is a Best of Award. The spirit of Tank of the Year is to each year select ONE type of tank and recognize the BEST version of that tank (or variant of that tank) - ANY SCALE, ANY ERA. The Winterblitz team has paid keen attention the last two events and noted a serious lack on one particular tank - The Russian T34. To counter-balance this we decided that the 2025 Tank of the Year will be the T34! Lots of options here for builds including variants. So, build a T34 tank!!
SPECIAL NOTE - ANY T34 IS ELIGIBLE - regardless of what country is using it and what variant of T34 it may be.
1. Adding an Airplane Busters categorey - anything that shoots at airplanes - FLAK VEHICLES
2. Bringing back the Silk Purse From a Sows Ear special award.
3. In conjunction with the 2025 theme - The Vietnam War, we have added Category 7000 - United States Helicopters in the Vietnam War. One entry per contestant in Category 7000.
4. Grand total entries per contestant will be 25 this year and we intend to lower that in 2026.
Our good friend Fitz has just posted an EXCELLENT recap of the show on his Hobby View YouTube channel. Check it out by clicking below.
We are seeking a collection to sell during Winterblitz 2025.
