HeritageCON 17

HeritageCON is the largest one-day scale modeling show in North America, organized by IPMS Hamilton. Hundreds of modelers from Ontario, Quebec, Montreal, New York State, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh gather to showcase their models, discuss the world of scale modeling, share techniques, and reconnect with old and new friends in a welcoming and enriching environment.
This year’s event will feature four presentations covering a range of topics, from the history of aviation—from its first flight to modern innovations—to cutting-edge modeling techniques, emerging trends in hobby competitions, and personal experiences in the Canadian Forces. Our speakers will take you on a fascinating journey through different aspects of scale modeling and aviation history.
HeritageCON is a fundraiser for the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. Get your tickets online at: warplane.com
