What are you building for Expo 2026?

10 months to go, so you know, it's finger removal time.

What will you have finished for Airliners and Non Military Aircraft categories? I have no decided what airliner to build but I'm doing one of these in 1/48 for Non Military.

I have a U.S.Navy Convair 880 Tanker underway....but if it decided that airliners with military markings are no longer eligible for the Airliner category, then I won't be entering it.

I'll be looking forward to it Ray, some thing different and VERY eligible according to the EXPO Handbook

ME18 - Civil Airliners - Open Not limited by scale.

Civil Airliner - Aircraft in an operating Airliner or Commercial Livery.

Airliner Derivatives – May pertain to civil airliners in military or government service.

An OPEN category and not subject to Out of Box rules.



I am not sure at this stage, I just finished the Falcon 20 but it will have to go in the Small jets category.

My recently almost finished B747-8i needs replacement decals and right wing repaint.

A Falcon 20 would fit into Non-Military Aircraft if it has a civilian registration on it.

Considering they missed the helo in Civil aircraft despite it even placing, I think you could enter it in AFV's and no one would notice.
