Among exhibits will be a 1/35-scale model of a Sherman tank and accessories used in World War II, above. The California Highway Patrol will display the Ford Mustang high-speed pursuit car with its 5.0-liter V-8 engine that is used on outlying freeways.
The model building competition will include the categories of armor, aircraft, ships, science fiction, dioramas, figures and automobiles.
