About the Event...

ModelFest returns for 2026 as South Florida’s premier regional scale modeling event, bringing together builders, enthusiasts, and collectors from across the state and beyond. This free-to-the-public show, hosted by Flight 19 International Plastic Modelers Society, celebrates the artistry and craftsmanship of the scale modeling hobby.

Come compete with your own builds, learn new tips and techniques, explore incredible displays from talented hobbyists, shop unique finds from our vendors, and take part in our exciting raffle for a chance to win prizes from our sponsors.

Our contest spans a wide range of scale modeling categories, including dedicated youth divisions, and awards will be presented for Best in Show, People’s Choice, and the President’s Award, among others.

Whether you’re a seasoned modeler or simply curious about the hobby, ModelFest 2026 is the place to experience the passion, creativity, and community that make scale modeling thrive in South Florida.
