Aircraft Model Kits
Shop aircraft model kits by the aircraft you want to build, its scale and the manufacturer’s exact part number. Compare military aircraft, classic designs and other subjects in the current collection. These are assembly kits; the individual listing identifies included parts, markings and any separate paint, cement or tool requirements.
Choose the version, scale and display plan
- Aircraft variant
- Compare the exact aircraft version, manufacturer reference and decal choices. A shared aircraft name does not identify the kit edition.
- Wingspan and height
- Use the listed completed dimensions to plan shelf space, especially for long wings, rotors and display stands.
- Assembly and finish
- Check the kit contents, part count or skill guidance, paint instructions and adhesive requirements. An assembled example is not the supplied format unless stated.
Aircraft-kit questions
Are these the same as finished diecast aircraft?
No. This department is for kits to assemble. Use the finished aircraft collection when you are looking for an assembled display model.
Which size information should I compare?
Compare scale together with the actual finished length, wingspan or rotor span and display height stated for the kit.

Choose the aircraft version before the paint
An aircraft name can cover several configurations. Tamiya 61098 represents an F-16CJ Block 50 at 1:48 scale and includes configuration and marking choices. Tamiya 61120 covers the P-38F/G Lightning at 1:48 scale. Check the exact kit’s options and instructions before ordering paints or aftermarket accessories.
Plan room for the finished model
Compare length and wingspan as well as scale. Different aircraft built at the same scale can need very different shelf space. Our 1:48 versus 1:72 aircraft guide explains how scale affects the buying decision.
