FAQs for Academy Plastic Model Kits
Who are Academy plastic model kits for?
Academy kits are aimed at static scale modellers across a wide skill range — from younger builders starting on simpler aircraft and armour kits, through to experienced modellers tackling detailed ships, figures and military subjects. Founded in South Korea in 1969, the brand has built a reputation for offering accessible kits at sensible price points, which makes Academy a popular choice as a "first proper kit" as well as a reliable everyday option for hobbyists building a regular display collection.
What is Academy known for?
Academy is a South Korean plastic model brand established in 1969, with a particularly broad catalogue spanning aircraft, armour, ships, figures and other scale subjects. The kits are well-regarded for offering a strong mix of value, detail and buildability, with many subjects sitting in the popular 1/72, 1/48, 1/35 and 1/350 scale ranges. Because the catalogue is so wide, Academy is one of the easier brands to standardise on if you want a coherent display shelf without jumping between dozens of different manufacturers.
Are Academy kits stocked in Australia?
Yes — Academy is one of our largest static-modelling brands, with around 186 items held in our Australian warehouse. That gives Australian modellers a substantial local selection across aircraft, armour, ships and figures without needing to import individual kits from overseas. New Academy releases and reissues come through periodically, so the live Academy category page on our site is the best reference for exactly which subjects, scales and editions are available right now.
Which Academy kits are most popular?
With around 186 Academy items in stock spanning aircraft, armour, ships and figures, the live Academy category page is the most reliable place to see current best-sellers and new arrivals. Aircraft kits in 1/72 and 1/48, plus 1/35 armour subjects, tend to be perennial favourites. If you are new to plastic modelling, our team can suggest a sensible starter kit based on your interests, along with a basic toolkit — sprue cutters, hobby knife, plastic cement and a small paint set — to get your first build off the ground.
