There’s definitely a romanticism surrounding classic aircraft and these kits are great fun to assemble too
Most of us grew up watching films and TV shows about fighter planes and bombers, and playing games where we’d be a fighter pilot in an imaginary dog fight with our friends in the playground! It’s easy to imagine yourself as a pilot – an individual, changing the course of a battle against all odds or flying off into the unknown!
These lovely little vintage aircraft kits are great for a range of model builders from beginners and children, to more intermediate model enthusiasts. You’ll need to decide for yourself which suits your skill level, but we’ve indicated on each a recommended range.

Vintage model aircraft kits by material
Choosing the right material is important – metal kits tend to be cheaper and smaller models (but can be a bit harder to assemble due to smaller parts) – wooden kits tend to be easier to assemble, but can also include balsa wood gliders that are more complicated – plastic kits can be more detailed final models and can vary in difficulty.

Model kit difficulty is relative and depends on your own skill, experience and also the material of the kit. Wooden kits can have more pieces, but aren’t as difficulty as they don’t require gluing or painting. Whereas plastic kits can require more artistic skill to finish the model.
