2026's R-12 Regional Con will be produced and hosted by Eastern Carolina Plastic Modelers to celebrate America's Inspiration and innovation. The theme will be iconic American developments, such as the Model T and the USS Nautilus, SSN-571. This con will happen at the Havelock Tourist and Event Center, also home of the Museum of Marine Aviation, arguably one of the premier event locations in the state. This year we will also feature expanded Gundam and Meccha classes as well as our ever popular raffle and a grand line up of vendors. The Center will also provide onsite light fare for lunch at fair prices and there are two first class motels an easy stroll from the front door. Our past two events have also had active duty Marines on hand to aid vendors unload and pack back up at show's end. Our events have consistantly receive excellent reviews and we are striving to make this one the best yet.
