Plastic Scale Model Kits
Explore plastic scale model kits covering aircraft, military vehicles, cars, ships, figures and more at Scale Model Shop. Browse models across a variety of subjects, scales and manufacturers, then use the page filters to narrow the selection for your next project.
Whether you are choosing a first model kit, returning to scale modelling or looking for a more involved build, you can shop by category, brand, scale, era, nation and availability.
Find Your Next Scale Model Kit
Start by choosing a subject that interests you. Aircraft kits cover aviation from different periods, while vehicle ranges include military and civilian subjects. You can also explore boats and ships, figures, buildings and other models to build.
Scale affects the relative size of the finished model and the space it may require. Popular choices include 1/72, 1/48, 1/35 and 1/32, although the scales available vary by subject and manufacturer. If you are searching for large scale model kits, use the scale filter and check the individual product details before ordering.
Plastic Model Kits for Adults and Hobby Modellers
Plastic model kits can range from straightforward projects to more detailed builds requiring additional time, tools and finishing work. When comparing model kits for adults, consider the subject, scale and individual kit rather than assuming that a larger model will necessarily be easier or more advanced.
Most scale model kits require assembly and painting unless a product is clearly identified as a die-cast model. Paints, adhesives and tools may need to be purchased separately, depending on the individual kit.
