Mika Heikkilä won the "unmodified" AFV class with this rendition of Tamiya's Josef Stalin II theavy tank.

The soft-skin division of the same basic class was literally dominated by this awesome model. It is the 1/12th scale Kubelwagen by Rickard Pamenius! 1/35 models visible behind and to the left make for an interesing comparison of size...it matters.

Class for armoured vehicles with free ehnancements was the most numerous class of the entire competition, and the overall standard was sky-high. The worthy winner was Mirko Bayerl's creation entitled Hungary, March 1945, and being... a Kingtiger Ausf. B.
