FAQs for Trumpeter
Trumpeter produces a huge catalogue of static plastic scale model kits across multiple scales to suit every builder. Armour modellers will find detailed 1/35 tanks and military vehicles, aircraft enthusiasts can choose from 1/72 and 1/48 kits, and naval builders have access to impressive 1/700 and 1/350 warships. Our Australian warehouse stocks a strong cross-section of these ranges so local modellers can browse popular subjects without waiting on overseas shipping for every purchase.
Trumpeter kits suit a wide spectrum of builders, but the best starting point depends on the subject and scale. Larger 1/35 armour kits generally have chunkier parts and forgiving assembly that beginners find approachable, while highly detailed 1/700 ships and multi-media aircraft kits reward experienced modellers. If you are new to the hobby, start with a simpler armour or aircraft kit, build up your painting and assembly skills, then move on to more ambitious projects as your confidence grows.
Yes. Alongside our Trumpeter kit range we carry the paints, cements, files, sanding sticks, panel line washes and weathering products that scale modellers rely on. Shipping tools, paints and a kit together from our Australian warehouse is far more convenient than sourcing bits piecemeal, and it keeps postage costs predictable. If you are planning a specific Trumpeter build, grab the kit and matching paint set in the same order so everything arrives ready to hit the bench.
Australian modellers gravitate toward Trumpeter's detailed 1/35 armour releases, particularly modern main battle tanks and Cold War subjects, along with large 1/32 aircraft and 1/700 capital ships. With 471 kits currently stocked across the range, there is plenty of choice for building dioramas, display shelves or competition entries. If you are after a specific subject not on the shelf, get in touch and we can usually bring it in through our regular Trumpeter restocks.
