Airplane
model kits never seem to go out of style. For decades they've
been favorites for generations.
Many
of us have been building these planes for many years. We've probably
built most of the popular kits. But model companies today are
reaching for the unusual and different aircraft from around the
world, which is a big bonus for aircraft modelers.
From
Revell, Hasegawa, Fujimi, Trumpeter, Academy, there are dozens
of model companies worldwide coming out with model kits of aircraft
you don't see every day, or may have never seen.
Model
aircraft kits continue to sell and be popular kitems. But you
don't have to build the same plane over and over. Now you can
build some that few will see at a model show, and they will just
look great in your collection. Talk about a conversation piece!
Even
though they might be an obscure airplane subject, that doesn't
mean you can't have a blast builiding some of them.
So
we've thrown in some concept plane models, race plane kits, tesing
aircraft. Some are traditional plastic kits, some are resin. But
all of them are interesting.
Civilian
planes play a large part in American history, and common Piper
Cubs to bush planes from Alaska, there's a lot of choices when
building civilian aircraft kits and
Commercial
airliner models are popular as well, in many different scales.
Don't
forget the heroes of today. The rescue planes and helicopters,
and the fire planes, dumping hundreds of gallons of water on forest
fires. There are a few of these models available as well.
These
are some exciting aircraft and airplane model kits to build.

These
are common aircraft and plane scale models. They make great
projects to add to your model collection.
