About Model Building Aircraft

In the world of model building hobbies, the most popular are the model aircrafts. There are young boys to even adults much older than that finding joy in building these models and showing them off in their garage or living room.

It is not difficult to buy a model aircraft kit, either to use yourself or as a gift to your friend. But the challenging part is finding the right one. Not only are there different models, different designs, and sizes. The variety is so much more than that. There are seven different models of the same aircraft that only vary in the difficulty level. Then comes the difference in materials. Newbies to this field will find all these differences extremely confusing. This article will give you a basic idea about the model aircraft. There are also tips that you can follow when you shop for them.

Four best model aircraft kits you can buy

In the world of model aircrafts, not two of them are the same. Hardcore aeroplane enthusiasts can tell you the minor differences between different model aircraft kits, even the ones that look apparently the same for untrained eyes. If you want to build very accurate models, therefore, you have to know more about them. Here is a list of the four best models that you can buy. In this article, you will also find some really useful tips that you can follow while shopping for the model kits online.

Vought F4U Corsair

In 1944, the US Navy introduced its brand new fighter aeroplane that had been tested for several years prior to that. As it turns out, that aeroplane became one of the reasons for the USA’s success during World War 2. It served the US air force for well over two decades. This is one of the favourites of model aircraft enthusiasts. The kit that is widely available these days represents the upgraded model of the aircraft that came a few years after the original one. The kit comes with three different decals options that represent the era. Because it is a fighter aeroplane, there is also a model of a 0.50 calibre aircraft gun in the kit

B-25J Mitchell aircraft model kits

The model aircraft of this particular aeroplane model is of 1:72 scale. This was also an American army aircraft. But this aircraft came out much before F4U Corsair. When F4U Corsair came out in 1944, Mitchel had been already in operation for many years. But this is more of a carrier than a fighter aircraft. This model aircraft kit comes with 132 pieces. All of them are made with grey plastic that can be painted on later. You can choose any of the three types of decals that come in the kit. As it has so many different parts to assemble, it will take quite some time for you to finish assembling it.

Spitfire Mk. VIII quick build aircraft kits

This is probably the most famous fighter airplane from the world war 2 era. It is so famous to the extent that there are even movies that romanticise this aircraft. This particular model aircraft kit is manufactured by Haswegawa. Even the packaging of this kit is quite impressive for its artwork and canopy. It doesn’t take much work to assemble this aircraft model as the parts are really easy to fit. The scale of the model is 1:72, which means it will not be too large or too small once you finish assembling the model.

Curtiss P-40N Warhawk

Over 14,000 of these were flying around in the sky just during the time of world war 2. Although this does not have a place among the greatest fighter aircraft in history, they were available at the time in great numbers. This model aircraft kit is also built by Haswegawa. This model is comparatively easier one to assemble. The packaging contains 37 pieces of the aircraft that you can join together, decals, and the instruction booklet that is easy to understand. You can choose the colour scheme you want before making the purchase. And like most of the other model aircraft kits by Haswegawa, this one provides the perfect fit of the various parts.

Tips on how to buy Model Building Aircraft Kits

It can be an overwhelming experience when you try to choose a model aircraft kit. You won’t even know the names of some of the aircraft models. And even the ones you know will come in different scales and styles. But selecting the right one is only possible if you know what to look for in them. Here are some tips that you can follow when you shop for model aircrafts.

  • Choose the model of aircraft you like – People who take up model aircraft as a hobby are already in love with various aircraft models. With some searching, you will be able to find the aircrafts that you would like to add to your collection.
  • Choose The scale of the built – Scale of the model means how does the size of model aircraft compare to that of the real-life one. Usually, the medium-sized ones that you can fit on a table will have a scale of 1:72.
  • Durability and cost – You would want the models you finish building to be intact for many years or even decades to come. Therefore, never settle for the cheaper ones that are of poor quality. But that doesn’t mean you have to break your bank to buy one either. You will be able to find the best model aeroplane kits for adults for sale at affordable prices.
  • The fit – This is another major factor that separates the cheap models from high-quality ones. All of the pieces in a model aircraft kit should perfectly fall in place when you work with them. They shouldn’t be hard to lock in place, nor should they wiggle when you finish assembling them.

Consider how much space you have to store model aircraft before choosing their scale. While a medium-sized model would fit on the average tabletop, there are models even bigger than that. You will be able to further customise your finished models using custom paints and decals as well. You can also compare the prices and features of the different products against each other to find the best one among them. So, don’t forget to check out all the other amazing products from the Toys category.

Question & Answer

What are the things to look for before buying model aircrafts?

The most important aspect is the individual interest itself. It is not always possible to find the aircraft model kits that you like, especially if there isn’t enough demand for them already. If you don’t have any particular favourites, then all you do is to look for guidance from your friends with similar interests or from online discussion forums. Some others get into the hobby of model aircraft just for the fun of building them. They don’t think much about the model of the aeroplane or anything. They just like having something to do and like the feeling once they get when they finish assembling.

What does the scale of a model represent?

The scale of the model aircraft will tell you how the dimensions of the model compare to the actual aircraft. But that alone won’t tell you how large the model is going to be. To get the actual size of the model, you also have to look at how large the real aircraft is. The most popular scale for model aircrafts is 1:72. This is the medium-sized model. If you want a model that is smaller than that, then there are 1:144, 1:350, and 1:720. There are also larger models than 1:72 as well. Models having scales 1:48 will be almost double the size of 1:72.

Are there model aircraft of different difficulty levels?

Yes, there are. This is something you have to keep in mind as well when you shop for them. The difficulty level determines how hard it is to put together the pieces to form the aeroplane. If you choose a level that is too difficult for your experience with model aircrafts, you will probably be less successful in assembling the model. Choose a level that is too easy, and you will no longer feel like assembling them to be an interesting challenge for you to work on it. If you are completely new to the world of aircraft models, start from the lowest level and gradually move up the ladder.
