FAQs for Model Aircraft Kits
A 1/72 Spitfire or Mustang from Airfix or Tamiya is a classic starting point. Small enough to finish in a weekend, detailed enough to look good on the shelf. Stick with propeller aircraft before tackling jets — fewer fiddly parts.
A simple 1/72 kit takes a few hours to a weekend depending on your pace. Bigger 1/48 or 1/32 kits can take weeks. Add more time if you're painting, decaling and weathering — that's where the real detail comes in.
