Faszination Modellbau Friedrichshafen continues to expand

Visitor figures hit the 50,000 mark at last year's Faszination Modellbau in Friedrichshafen, in just three days! Visitor congestion, especially in the aircraft model hall, reached its capacity limit. The organisers of the Faszination Modellbau show have therefore decided that in future Hall A1, up until now not part of the show layout, will be used for the flight modelling sector. This 10,000 m² hall is 50% larger than the sector's previous domicile, Hall A3. This gives aircraft modelling an even greater platform at Faszination Modellbau Friedrichshafen.

This modification has many advantages:

1. Improves the spatial situation for visitors.

2. Hall A1 offers more exhibition space - so more model aircraft companies can take part.

3. Shortens the distance to the airfield where the "Stars of the Year" flight show takes place.

4. Hall A1 has its own entrance with four additional ticket desks, further reducing ticket queues.

Indoor Action for RC electro flight models will remain at its usual location in the WEST foyer, so visitors to the restaurant will still be at eye level with the flying models. The indoor flight area in Friedrichshafen is perhaps the most attractive of its kind.

In order to keep the layout of Faszination Modellbau compact, without long distances for visitors, the model railway sector will move into Hall A3, Hall A4 belongs to the truck models along with plastic and cardboard modelling, model cars and ships will be in Hall A5, and in future Hall A6 will host the RC car races, where the "German Open RC Car Masters" is held.

The decision to include the larger Hall A1 is a clear signal for further expansion of the fair. The progress that Faszination Modellbau Friedrichshafen has experienced in the past few years can be expected to continue.

Faszination Modellbau Friedrichshafen takes place from 31st October to 2nd November 2014.

The new hall layout can be found in detail on page 2.
