NORTHWEST SCALE MODELERS “Model Mania!” SHOW: The NWSM Show, each Presidents Day Weekend in the Museum of Flight Great Gallery, is our signature event. Other than the IPMS/USA Nationals, we believe it is the largest annual model show in the United States, and among the largest in the world. The 2-day exhibition (non-competition) format, with continuous how-to seminars, and dozens of modelers blissfully modeling at working tables, makes the NWSM Show one of the truly unique events in the world of scale modeling.

Better yet, join us at NWSM! We are an informal scale modeling club based at Seattle’s Museum of Flight. We build all subjects, not just aircraft. We have no officers, no newsletter, no by-laws, no dues. We do have fun with discussion, show-and-tell, and generous exchange of ideas, techniques, information. We stage cool model displays in The Museum of Flight lobby, and we host this major model show each February. We meet in the Museum’s Red Barn every Free First Thursday at 7 PM. See you there! See our Meetings page for more information.
