1/12 Scale Model Kits

Explore 1/12 scale model kits covering large-scale cars, motorcycles, racing subjects, figures and selected specialist models. At one-twelfth of the full-sized subject, these substantial plastic kits provide plenty of room for clearly represented bodywork, engines, frames, suspension, interiors and other visible details.

The range has a particularly strong selection of motorcycle model kits, including road bikes, classic machines and racing motorcycles. You can also discover large-scale model car kits based on road and competition vehicles, alongside occasional figures and character-led subjects.

Large-Scale Model Cars to Build

For automotive modellers, 1/12 scale cars offer considerably more display presence than smaller alternatives. Their larger dimensions can make features such as body panels, wheels, cockpit components and engine parts more prominent, depending on the design and contents of the individual kit.

The category includes classic cars, racing cars and other automotive subjects from specialist model manufacturers. These can make rewarding centrepiece projects for builders who enjoy careful assembly, surface preparation, painting and finishing.

1/12 Motorcycle Model Kits

Motorcycles are widely represented in this scale because the proportions provide space for exposed mechanical components. Depending on the selected kit, the finished model may display features such as the engine, frame, exhaust, suspension, wheels and detailed bodywork.

Available subjects can include road motorcycles, racing machines, classic bikes and smaller leisure motorcycles. Check each listing for the precise model, included components and finishing requirements.

How to Choose a 1/12 Model Kit

• Choose the subject: compare cars, motorcycles, racing vehicles, figures and other available 1/12 kits.
• Allow for display space: these are large-scale plastic models, so check the stated dimensions where provided.
• Review the kit contents: individual products may differ in materials, parts and included accessories.
• Consider the build: do not assume every large kit has the same complexity; review the specific product information before ordering.
• Plan the finish: confirm whether paint, adhesive and tools are included or need to be purchased separately.
