Anyone who provides an article with pictures that can be published automatically goes into the draw to win a model. The Diecast Magazine looks forward to including this as a regular section in the future and ask you to put pen to paper and send us your words and a couple of pictures to be in with a chance to win a model and have your article published in the next issue of The Diecast magazine North American edition.
