HobbyBoss Military Plastic Model Kits

HobbyBoss produces mid to high detail military scale plastic kits, aimed at modellers who are comfortable with sprues, cement and basic painting. They're not the cheapest or simplest first-ever kit, but they're well engineered with clear instructions and realistic part counts for the subject. If you've built one or two starter kits already, a HobbyBoss Me 262 or TBD-1 Devastator is a very rewarding next step. Plenty of Australian modellers use HobbyBoss kits to fill specific gaps in their WWII Luftwaffe, USAAF or armour collections.

HobbyBoss focuses on military subjects across aircraft, armour and ships, with strong representation in WWII and Cold War eras. Our current range is a curated selection rather than the full global catalogue, and includes 1/48 Luftwaffe jets like the Me 262 A-1a/U1 and Me 262 A-1a/U5, 1/35 German armour such as the Panzer IV /70(A), Soviet armour in the 1/48 KV-1 1942, and carrier aircraft like the 1/48 TBD-1 Devastator. That mix covers several of the most popular subjects for Australian scale modellers.

Yes, we stock HobbyBoss in our Australian warehouse, though the range is focused rather than comprehensive. At the moment that means five lines: the Me 262 A-1a/U1 1/48, Me 262 A-1a/U5 1/48, Panzer IV /70(A) 1/35, KV-1 1942 1/48 and TBD-1 Devastator 1/48. Each of those is sitting at one in stock, so if you have your eye on a particular kit we'd recommend ordering sooner rather than later. Restocking on specific HobbyBoss kits can take time once they sell through.

If you enjoy WWII aircraft, the Me 262 A-1a/U1 1/48 is a popular starting point because the Me 262 is one of the most iconic jet subjects and the kit suits an intermediate modeller. For armour fans, the Panzer IV /70(A) 1/35 offers plenty of detail without being overwhelming. The 1/48 TBD-1 Devastator is a great pick for Pacific theatre builders. All five current kits are held in our Australian warehouse, but with just one of each in stock, act quickly.
