On Feb. 15-16 the historic aircraft in the Museum’s towering Great Gallery will frame the world’s largest display of finely crafted model planes, cars, tanks, ships, figures, sci-fi and more during the 2025 NorthWest Scale Modelers Show.
This year’s extravaganza includes special display honoring women in aviation, plus an exhibit representing the world of Mecha. Expert modelers will conduct seminars about the art and craft of modeling, plus they will be on hand next to the exhibits to answer questions and help visitors of all ages make their own models. The event is open all day and free Museum membership and included with Museum admission.

Born in Milan, Italy, Moreno moved to the U.S. in 1999 to pursue a career as a commercial pilot. His aviation passion began early, inspired by his uncle, an F-104 Starfighter Crew Chief, and his father, a military traffic controller. Childhood adventures included camping outside military bases and watching planes at Aeroporto Linate. In 1999, he relocated to Atlanta, Georgia, to obtain his commercial pilot license, a move that became permanent. With 24 years in the U.S., he now flies full-time for a Part 91 business aviation company in Atlanta. He is actively involved with the Commemorative Air Force, the D-Day Squadron, and other aviation organizations. He enjoys life with his supportive wife and three wonderful children.
