Welcome to Rocketfin! Your web site for the modelling hobby. Aircraft models, car models, ship models, scifi models, truck models, modeling books and reference, it's all here. Scale plastic model kits have been around for hobbyists for nearly 60-70 years. Allowing builders to create small replicas of just about anything, from aircraft to ships, from trucks to spaceships.

Make no doubt, these are not toys. Assembling a static model kit is deep desire to replicate every detail down to the smallest nut or bolt. To create complicated paint schemes on a 6 inch object that would rival something done on a full scale subject. Scale model kits allow us to explore and present our ambition and creatively in an interesting way. Many times, in cases such as diorama models, to show a small slice of history and tell a story so everyone can capture the moment. Our hope here at Rocketfin Hobbies that we fuel your passion, and that you enjoy the millions of possibilities with a model kit. But most of all, just have fun !

For model car kits, you can't beat the large selection of automobiles and trucks. Older companies like Revell and AMT, including MPC models, are still cranking out nostalgic models, and have tooled up all new releases within recent years. The model building hobby is at one of the best times ever for the selection and diversity of autos and car kits. New companies like MENG, Trumpeter, IMC, Moebius, and others, are all dipping their toes in the water, and have found success at producing model car kits. While in the past they excelled at Science Fiction model kits, or Military Model kits, they've moved into issuing car subjects, and so far, they've done well. At Rocketfin Hobbies, we carry model kits of just about anything in one form or another. Military Jeeps or trucks kits, also1/25 scale semi truck kits (which are very popular). Aircraft model kits of all kinds, from civilian planes, to military fighter jets. Ship models of the sea, especially naval models in the popular 1/350 scale.

Scifi model kits are as good as ever. If a new movie comes out, chances are, there will be a few new model kits out soon (if there are any spaceships in it!). From the old AMT Star Trek Enterprise, to the all new Bandai Star Wars kits, there are plenty of new models to choose from. Moebius comes out with new kits all year long it seems. And of course, Polar lights, and now MPC, are going strong. Soon we will have an all new Space 1999 Eagle model kit, at around 22 inches long.

Keep watching for new model kits, from the Super Hero lines (Dragon Marvel models, and Moebius' Batman series) as more figures hit the streets. Horror model kits? Monster model kits? Still popular as ever. Plastic, resin, even vinyl models are becoming mainstream, and modelers are becoming comfortable in building kits in those mediums. It's the best time to hook up with a new model project.
