Most kits arrive unpainted and unglued — here are the essentials.

New to plastic kits?

A plastic kit arrives as moulded sprues you cut, glue and paint yourself — that's the hobby, not a drawback. Start with a snap-fit or a smaller 1:72 kit and a handful of paints; you don't need an airbrush to get a good result.

Not sure where to start? Come in and ask — we build these ourselves.

Common questions

Does the kit include paint and glue?
Almost never — plastic kits are supplied as unpainted sprues, and you buy paint and cement separately. A few starter sets do include a small selection of paints and a brush; the product page will say so. If in doubt, ask us.
What's the difference between a kit and a diecast model?
A kit arrives unbuilt — you cut the parts from the sprue, glue them together and paint them. A diecast or finished model comes pre-built and painted, ready to put straight on a shelf. Both live in different parts of the site.
What should I buy for my first kit?
A 1:72 aircraft or a snap-fit kit is a good start — fewer parts, forgiving to build. Add a tube of poly cement, a sharp knife or side cutters, and three or four acrylic paints. You don't need an airbrush to get a result you're happy with.
What does the scale mean?
It's how much smaller the model is than the real thing. A 1:72 Spitfire is 72 times smaller than the real aircraft; a 1:24 one is only 24 times smaller, so it's a much bigger model. Smaller number means bigger kit.
