1/48 scale plastic model kits offer a balanced approach to scale modelling, combining manageable size with the ability to represent fine detail clearly. This category brings together all plastic kits produced in 1/48 scale, unified by scale compatibility rather than subject type.
The 1/48 scale is widely used across multiple subjects, most notably aircraft, but also selected vehicles, figures and supporting kits designed to match the same proportions. This makes it well suited to cohesive displays and mixed subject projects.
Because of its balance between detail and practicality, 1/48 scale is often chosen for display-focused builds where presence and finish matter, without the space requirements of larger scales. Models within this scale can be combined naturally while maintaining consistent proportions.
