The Theme

A fun laid back-back show for armor and figure enthusiasts set amongst REAL historic artifacts!

The Theme

Tank of the Year?

The Theme

The Winterblitz 2026 Theme will be Military Support Vehicles.  Any miliitary vehicle that can be consider support. This can be tracked, half-tracked and rubber wheeled vehicles.  Think transportation, engineering and medical.  All nations, all eras and all scales.  Building a kit that you do not know if it is a support vehicle - ask us. For clarification, the presence of a 50-caliber gun on a military truck does not void eligibility.  A gun truck would not be considered a support vehcile.  

Tank of the Year?

Tank of the Year?

Tank of the Year?

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 along with the Houston Armor Club has voted on the German 38T and all its variants.


SPECIAL NOTE - ANY 38T IS ELIGIBLE - regardless of what country is using it and what variant of 38T it may be.
