Model building events concentrate hands-on expertise where small details determine purchase decisions. In Ried im Innkreis the Model Building Fair returns on October 10 and 11 with a program focused on scale railways, RC models and plastic kits.
Practical information for the 2026 fair
The fair runs on October 10 and 11, 2026 at Messe Ried. Public opening hours are 9 am to 5 pm daily. Online tickets start at 12 euros according to the organiser.
What the Model Building Fair presents
Public areas include model railway exhibits across multiple scales, RC sections with track and flight demonstrations, plastic and card modelling displays, and a LEGO area aimed at families and collectors.
Key figures for exhibitors and visitors
The event will host more than 150 exhibitors across the halls. That range brings a mix of kit manufacturers, detailing workshops, specialist retailers and artisan makers.
Commercial prospecting and on-floor activity
For specialist retailers and small manufacturers the fair enables scheduled contacts and live demos. Book stand space early to position new products in busy aisles. Plan short, repeatable demonstrations in RC and running layouts to show technical features and finishes. Produce clear visual material for photos and video since many buyers follow up after the event via social media searches.
Practical tips for exhibitors and attendees
- Show a few high-quality reference models rather than a large but unfocused display. Visible detail works better on the stand.
- Set fixed demo times for RC activities so visitors can plan attendance.
- Use the exhibitor directory on the fair website to schedule one-to-one meetings in advance.
