Reproductions are allowed in the original show, if built with the same materials:

3-01 Participating vehicles' specifications

The only vehicles allowed to participate are the following :


  • Vehicles whose design was completed before August 15, 1945
  • Vehicles that had begun prototype trials by the aforementioned date
  • Vehicles whose construction was planned using only materials available before the aforementioned date
  • Vehicles which meet these requirements must be confirmed to be constructed using materials that were available at that time.

For vehicles that never advanced from the planning stage, the League will decide on their eligibility on a case-by-case basis.

However, in the event that there is difficulty supplying the appropriate parts, the League may determine the allowable extent of reproductions and modifications.
