Frequently Asked Questions

What are the top 3 brands?

These three are some of the world's largest manufacturers of plastic model kits, and their product line includes a wide range of popular subjects such as aircraft, tanks and military vehicles, figures, cars, trucks, and motorcycles in a variety of common scales:

▪ Tamiya

▪ Airfix

▪ Italeri

What scale is right for me?

If you are a beginner, generally speaking, a larger scale may be easier to work with, but smaller scale models are often simpler. If you are looking at an armor kit (tanks), a 1/35 scale Tamiya is a great starting point. For aircraft, a 1/48 scale Tamiya is a good option.

What are the most common scales?

While the answer may not be as black and white and very subjective, some categories have a clear winner: Armour 1/35 and Cars 1/24.
