Hobby Model Expo
Hobby Model Expo 26-27-28th September 2025
Hobby Model Expo is the most important Italian trade fair dedicated to the world of modelling. They have tried to imitate it in every way, but copies are never the same as the original, and the Novegro exhibition has had originality to spare since its debut in 1978! Railway modelling, aeromodelling, naval modelling, static modelling: every declination of this exciting universe is showcased here in all its glittering splendour. Each category sees the participation of the most important manufacturers, dealers and magazines in the sector, alongside presentations of models of all scales, competitions, handling tanks, circuits, flight tests and much more.

Railway modelling at its finest!
Hobby Model Expo rhymes with model railways!
At the event, as usual, there will be numerous exhibitors specialising in all things related to miniature railways: locomotives, wagons, tracks and accessories of all kinds.
Also not to be forgotten are the various super-detailed model railways in various scales, both standard and modular (which this year will feature new modules): be amazed and take inspiration for your own creations!

An entire Pavilion dedicated to military modelling and figurines
Pavilion A of Hobby Model Expo will be occupied entirely by military modelling, toy soldiers and figurines!
If you love these kinds of modelling, at Novegro you will find specialised exhibitors ready to show you all their facets.
Infrared Battle among RC Tanks
Sherman, T-34, Tiger 1 and many more.
Here are the radio-controlled World War II tanks that you will see in action at Hobby Model Expo in an infrared battle!
The simulation, organised by exhibitor RCTANK.IT, will take place in Pavilion A and will be an exciting and realistic show: each vehicle will have a different level of resistance depending on its category (light, medium and heavy) and will stop moving when it has suffered a certain number of hits (for which there will be sound effects).
Who will win?
During the demonstrations, the functionality of the various models will also be explained.
The days and times when the simulation will take place will be announced over the PA system during the fair.
Ship Battle, Pilot School and sailing boat regattas

The railway model of the Mediopadana AV Station in Reggio Emilia in exclusive preview at Hobby Model Expo!
The railway model of the Mediopadana AV Station in Reggio Emilia by the Gruppo Fermodellistico Milanese will be unveiled in an exclusive preview at Hobby Model Expo!
At the association’s headquarters in Milan, over two years of dedicated work went into building five new N scale (1:160) modules, faithfully reproducing every detail of this iconic station of the Italian railway network.
