We had a great meeting in February. We had lots of models brought in for show n’ tell. The Tie Fighter group build held its second meeting. The Model Expo planning committee also held a meeting regarding the current status of our June contest. As a reminder the San Diego Model Expo will be held on Saturday, June 9 at the Gillespie Field annex of the San Diego Air and Space Museum in conjunction with the San Diego Model Car Club. Please see San Diego Model Expo 2018 and San Diego Model Expo 2018 Update 1 for details. In May we will have training sessions for anyone who would like to judge or take photographs at the June contest.
