ISTANBUL MODEL SHOW (formerly World in Scale Model Competition and Exhibition) is an official event traditionally organized by the Modeling Club Association since 2014 and open to the participation of modelers from all over the world. The event, which will be held for the tenth time this year at Hotel Mercure Altunizade, has the distinction of being the largest modeling meeting in Turkey.

More than 150 modelers participated in the event, which was organized for the ninth time in 2024, with a total of 649 models, 74 of which were in the exhibition section. In this organization, different events were organized due to the 50th anniversary of both the entry of F-4E Phantom aircrafts into the Turkish Air Force inventory and our Cyprus Peace Operation. Special categories were opened in the competition section of the event and an exhibition was organized. In addition, panels and presentations were held regarding both special themes. In these panels and presentations, our esteemed guests, Cyprus Veteran and Retired Air Force Pilot Staff Major and our F-100D pilot Mr. Vecdi Cafer Vural, Cyprus Veteran and our M48 tank commander Mr. Yakup Mümtaz Akıncılar, Retired Air Force Pilot Major and our F-4E pilot Mr. Şefik Taş, Resigned Air Force Pilot Major and our F-4E pilot Mr. Semih TAŞ, our speakers Prof. Dr. Mr. Burak Samih Gülboy, Prof. Dr. Mr. Serhat Güvenç and our air photographer Mr. Cem Doğut came together with the audience.
