Cincinnati Scale Modelers Contest & Swap Meet 2021

This year Cincinnati Scale Modelers has partnered with the Tri-State Warbird Museum to bring a truly, exciting experience to the model contest and swap meet!

The purpose of the Museum is to provide a unique up close and personal opportunity to learn about aviation history as well as to appreciate the commitment and sacrifice of the American people during World War II.  The museum has over eight restored aircraft ranging from a P-51D to a P-40M to the B-25.  How exciting it will be to purchase a model kit of a B-25 from a vendor situated under the wing of a restored B-25!  It will be a day of excitement walking around the museum hangars observing the model entries and vendor booths while being right next to the restored aircraft.  We encourage modelers representing all categories to come to the show to support our aviation history, the model building hobby, and appreciate all those that served to keep our country free.
