The *IPMS Hellas is organizing its 28th plastic models exhibition from 21 to 25 October. For more information please visit http://www.ipms-hellas.gr/

*The International Plastic Modellers’ Society (IPMS) consist of local and national chapters of hobbyists interested in building Plastic model kits. The first chapter was established in the United Kingdom in 1963.

These chapters usually organise regular meetings or attend events of interest such as air shows. Within each chapter, Special Interest Groups (SIG) are formed which focus on a specific area or type of model building, for instance aircraft or science fiction figures.
