Pictures From the 2024 Cincinnati IPMS Model Show, Tri-State Warbird Museum

October 20, 2024 · in Show Reports · · 8 · 160

Yesterday was the annual Cincinnati IPMS Model Show held at the Tri-State Warbird Museum in Batavia, Ohio. It's a really great venue for a show, with your standard array of vendor tables and contest entries intermixed with actual warbirds! It was another perfect fall day, sunny and warm. The museum staff opened up the hanger doors to let the breeze in. Food was available from a burger truck, the food was excellent but they had some trouble getting it out. I ate mine outside under the wing of a B-25 which was a unique experience! The vendor isles were crowded but I managed to find some good deals on some books plus I picked up a couple more kits for the stash. As always, the highlight was talking with fellow modelers and seeing all the great work on display. The quality of the builds was outstanding, a fine day out!

  1. Remarkable quality of work. All are special. Thanks for the fine photos.

  2. Cool about eating under the wing of a B-25.

    I see someone already has the Magic Factory A-4M in Blacksheep markings built and competing.

    That ICM Jig Dog Invader in utility squadron markings is a real eye catcher.

  3. Looks like it was a great show with a lot of excellent models on display. There is a lot of beautiful work on display in those pictures. Thanks for sharing.

  4. Some amazing models shown here, Jeff @inchhigh
    Besides that, I would have loved the experience of eating a burger underneath the wing of a 1:1 Mitchell the most.
    Clearly a wonderful day.
