Plastic model kits for scale aircraft & armor

Whether you’re returning to the hobby or building your first display piece, this curated collection of plastic model kits pulls together popular aircraft, armor, ships, and automotive subjects across the most-used scales. Each kit is chosen for crisp molding, smart engineering, and an enjoyable build, so you can focus on clean assemblies, sharp panel lines, and convincing finishes.

What’s inside this collection

  • Starter-friendly aircraft and armor with sensible parts counts and positive fit for stress-free builds.

  • Detail-rich subjects with photo-etch, slide-molded barrels, and clear parts for advanced results right out of the box.

  • WWII, Cold War, and modern subjects so you can match any era—from prop fighters and jets to MBTs and soft-skins.

  • Scales you actually build: 1/72 for quick projects, 1/48 as the “sweet spot,” and 1/35 for armor detail and dioramas.

  • Upgrade-ready kits that pair perfectly with cements, fillers, primers, paints, and weathering products we stock.

You’ll find a mix of value picks and flagship releases, all compatible with common hobby tools and acrylic paint systems.

Brands & subjects at a glance

  • Hobby 2000, Border Model, G.W.H., Clear Prop, Suyata and more—known for precise fit and sharp surface detail.

  • Aircraft classics like P-38 Lightning, F-14 Tomcat, MiG-29 and more, alongside armor favorites such as Tiger I and modern IFVs.

  • Unique releases—bridges, figures, and diorama pieces—to turn a single build into a complete scene.

Across the board, these plastic model kits are engineered for consistent results: thin clear parts, restrained rivets, and instructions that keep the build moving.

Tips to choose the right kit

  • New to the bench? Pick a subject you love in 1/72 or 1/48 with fewer sprues; you’ll learn fast and finish sooner.

  • Detail-driven? Go 1/35 armor or feature-rich aircraft kits and add photo-etch or metal barrels for a premium look.

  • Planning a series? Keep scale and era consistent to share decals, paints, and weathering across projects.

  • Finish matters: Use a plastic cement for strong, clean joints; prime before paint; then seal with a satin or matte clear for a scale-accurate sheen.

From box-stock speed builds to competition-level projects, our range of plastic model kits puts quality tools and finishes within easy reach—plus the replacements and consumables you’ll need along the way.
