From Spitfires and modern military aircraft to tanks, Jeeps and armoured vehicles, there is plenty of choice for anyone who enjoys assembling, painting and detailing scale models. Use the category filters to narrow your search by scale, brand, subject and availability.

Choose Your Model Kit by Subject and Scale

Aircraft model kits include historic and modern subjects, while military vehicle kits cover tanks, transport vehicles and other equipment. Different manufacturers offer their own approaches to kit design, detail and assembly.

Scale is an important part of choosing a model. A 1/72 aircraft generally takes up less space than the same aircraft in 1/32 scale, while 1/35 is widely used for military vehicles and related subjects.

Popular categories include 1/35 plastic model kits and 1/48 plastic model kits. Larger scales, including 1/24 aircraft and 1/16 military vehicles, are also worth considering if you prefer a more substantial finished model.

Model Kits for Adults and Scale Modelling Projects

Choosing a model kit is about more than its size. Some builds concentrate on the main assembly, while others involve smaller components, intricate details and more extensive painting or finishing work.

If you are returning to scale modelling or starting your first project, consider a subject that interests you and a kit with an assembly process you will enjoy. More involved projects can offer opportunities for additional detailing, weathering and custom finishing.

Plastic model kits generally require assembly, and painting is often part of the process. Depending on the kit, you may also need adhesives, paints and modelling tools.

Scale Model Kits from Established Manufacturers

Shop models from well-known names including Tamiya, Airfix, Academy, Meng Model, Trumpeter, MiniArt and Takom. Aircraft modellers can also find subjects from manufacturers such as Kotare, with different scales and aircraft types represented across the range.

For additional detail and finishing work, our catalogue also includes modelling accessories such as cables, hoses, vehicle equipment and detailing products.

Find the Right Scale Model for Your Next Build

Start with your preferred subject, then compare scales and manufacturers to find a kit that suits your project. If you are interested in large scale model kits for adults, consider the finished dimensions, available display space and the level of assembly involved.
