British military models
Explore RAF and Fleet Air Arm aircraft, British Army tanks and Royal Navy ships. The range spans WW2 Spitfires and Warspite to the modern Challenger 2, with plastic kits from Airfix, Tamiya and Academy as well as finished display models.
Best for a compact aircraft build
Easy · Plastic · 1:72
1:72 scale · RAF fighter
Choose this 1:72 Spitfire for a compact British fighter display. Its Easy rating offers a gentler route into traditional plastic aircraft kits, while keeping a recognised wartime subject at the centre of the build.
Best for modern British armour
Intermediate · Plastic · 1:48
1:48 scale · Glue and paint required
Move beyond wartime armour with a Challenger 2 in desert configuration. This 1:48 plastic kit suits an Intermediate builder who wants a modern British Army tank without moving up to a larger 1:35 project.
Best for a larger naval project
Challenging · Plastic · 1:350
1:350 scale · Battleship display
Give a Royal Navy battleship more display space with Academy’s 1:350 Warspite. The Challenging rating makes this a patient build for modellers who enjoy working through the smaller details of a larger ship model.
German military models
Compare Messerschmitt fighters, Tiger tanks and U-boats, with later Leopard armour also covered in the German guide. Airfix starter sets, Tamiya aircraft and tanks, and Revell naval kits offer very different project sizes and build demands.
Best for a first plastic tank
Easy · Plastic · 1:72
Starter set · paint, brush and glue included
A compact Tiger I with the essentials supplied for a first traditional plastic build. Choose the A55004 starter set when you want the included paint, brush and glue rather than the basic kit alone.
Best for a 1:48 fighter collection
Intermediate · Plastic · 1:48
WW2 fighter · Canopy options and pilot figure
This Tamiya E-3 offers an Intermediate plastic build at 1:48. Compare the early-war variant and supplied markings with the scene you want, and provide separate glue and paints.
Best for a substantial naval project
Expert · Plastic · 1:72
Large submarine build · 1:72 scale
Choose this Type VIIC/41 for a substantial U-boat display and an Expert construction project. A full-size submarine remains a long model at 1:72, so measure your display space before ordering.
Japanese military models
Discover Imperial Japanese Navy aircraft, Japanese Army armour and distinctive naval subjects. Airfix Zero fighters and Tamiya Chi-Ha tanks sit alongside ships and submarines, with scales ranging from compact aircraft to larger naval display projects.
Best for a first plastic aircraft kit
Easy · Plastic · 1:72
A6M2b naval fighter · 1:72 scale
A compact Zero with an Easy build rating. Choose the exact A6M2b version for your collection and allow for separate glue and finishing supplies; this is a conventional plastic kit rather than a starter set.
Best for Japanese Army armour
Intermediate · Plastic · 1:35
Type 97 medium tank · 1:35 scale
Tamiya’s Type 97 Chi-Ha adds a Japanese Army medium tank to a 1:35 armour collection. It is a conventional plastic kit for builders comfortable with gluing, track assembly and painting.
Best for a distinctive submarine project
Challenging · Plastic · 1:350
Aircraft-carrying submarine · Special Edition
This 1:350 Special Edition depicts Japan’s I-400 aircraft-carrying submarine. Its unusual hangar and aircraft make a distinctive naval subject for a patient builder.
Russian military models
Explore Soviet and Russian subjects, from WW2 T-34 tanks to Sukhoi jets and Kamov helicopters. Tamiya armour and Zvezda aircraft offer contrasting builds, with markings and aircraft variants covered in more detail in the country guide.
Best for a traditional WW2 tank build
Intermediate · Plastic · 1:35
1943 production model · Crew figures
Tamiya’s 1943 T-34/76 brings a wartime Soviet medium tank to a 1:35 collection. Conventional hull, track and turret assembly makes this an Intermediate plastic project, with crew figures to build and finish alongside the vehicle.
Best for a two-seat Kamov subject
Intermediate · Plastic · 1:72
123 parts · About 21cm overall
The Ka-52 adds a side-by-side two-seat cockpit to the Kamov selection. Its coaxial rotor system gives it a different silhouette from the Mi-24 and Mi-28. Allow time for careful rotor alignment and painting.
Best for a naval fighter project
Challenging · Plastic · 1:72
Carrier-capable fighter · 1:72 scale
The Su-33 adds a carrier fighter to a Russian aircraft collection. Zvezda’s 1:72 kit offers folded or extended flight-surface options; careful alignment and small undercarriage details make it a Challenging construction project.
US military models
Browse US Army armour, USAAF and USAF aircraft, and US Navy ships. The selection includes Mustang fighters, tank destroyers and Iowa-class battleships, alongside modern jets, brick-built aircraft and ready-built die-cast models.
Best for a larger Mustang kit
Intermediate · Plastic · 1:48
Earlier fuselage profile · Pilot and stores
The P-51B adds the earlier raised rear fuselage profile to a Mustang collection. Tamiya’s 1:48 kit includes a pilot, bombs, drop tanks and three marking options. Its 20.5cm length gives room for cockpit and exterior detail without the footprint of a large modern jet.
Best for a traditional US armour build
Intermediate · Plastic · 1:35
Open turret · 90mm gun · Crew figure
Choose the M36 for a late-war US tank-destroyer subject. Tamiya’s 1:35 kit includes an open turret interior, assembly tracks with one-piece straight sections and a crew figure. Hull, running gear and turret work make it an Intermediate plastic project.
Best for a detailed WW2 battleship
Challenging · Plastic · 1:700
Waterline model · 38.65cm long
Missouri brings a WW2 battleship to a 1:700 naval collection. Tamiya’s fine anti-aircraft weapons, masts and floatplanes need patient handling, while the long hull needs a clear shelf area. The kit represents a wartime fit rather than the later missile-era ship.

Military models by country FAQs
Does the country refer to the model subject or the kit manufacturer?
The country guides group military subjects rather than the manufacturer’s home country. For example, Japanese manufacturer Tamiya produces the British Spitfire, German Messerschmitt Bf 109 and US Mustang kits shown here.
Are Soviet models included in the Russian guide?
Yes. The Russian guide includes Soviet subjects such as the T-34 alongside later Russian aircraft and helicopters. The specific variant and supplied markings matter when matching a model to a historical collection.
Does the range include ready-built models?
Yes. The catalogue includes construction kits and finished display models. Check the product’s supplied format and assembly information: a ready-built die-cast aircraft is a different purchase from an unpainted plastic kit.
Where can I find more models from one country?
Follow the country buttons for detailed British, German, Japanese, Russian and US guides, or use the country tabs in the product grid. The scale tabs browse the wider military-by-country range at that scale.
