Ultimate Guide to Model Kits and the 41 Types

Can you believe 41 different examples come to mind when I think about model kits? This Ultimate Guide to Model Kits reveals the types, the best materials in 2022, how to source quality kits, and how to preserve your model kits for decades. I’ll also share the model levels and their difficulties.

I’m what friends call a manic collector of all things nostalgic, but I love model kits because they’re interactive. Model building is a wildly satisfying hobby, and I often get lost in a new assembly. You have to build, prime, and paint them before storing them in a suitable container for long-term preservation.

I’ve been around model kits for nearly two decades, and I’ll show you the ins and outs of selecting, building, and caring for your model kits. Let’s see what adventure lies ahead for your most significant hobbies.

Bottom Line Up Front

Model kits are one of the greatest passions for collectors of toys, war memorabilia, fandoms, pop culture, classic cars, and anything you can assemble. It’s no wonder they’re so famous for hobbyists and collectors. However, model kits are complicated if you don’t know the basics.

There are five different difficulty levels for model kits, and it’s hard to choose your new model kit when there are 41 different types. Some model kits include Transformers model kits, Star Trek model kits, Pokémon model kits, Titanic model kits, Zoids model kits, and even anime model kits.

Once you have your model kit, you also need to know the best ways to preserve it as a collector. Different model materials last different times. You can use simple storage and rotation tricks to keep them in pristine condition. Should you get lead rot, the most common metal model problem, I’ll show you how to fix it.

I also don’t believe it’s wise to buy any model kit. You need a buying system that helps you choose which model kits suit you better. I stick to a reasonable budget and prefer challenging model kits. You also need to consider the materials, levels, and scale according to your time and space.

I have a few favorite model kits, and I intend to buy two more from my recommended list. I love the Lego STEM NASA Space Shuttle Model Building Kit because it’s educational, I can build it with my son, and it falls into two types of model kits. I want the UGears Mechanical Wooden Steam Train Model Kit to assemble my first train.

I love helping fellow collectors find gems. I’ll recommend a model kit for a little bit of everything, including gearheads, anime enthusiasts, and classic car model builders. Let me help you find your next model kit.

A Model History

Guide to Model Kits

Scale model building is a timeless hobby collector of all things nostalgic can actively enjoy. It began in 1936 when Frog in the United Kingdom manufactured the first buildable aircraft model called Penguin. The 1:72 scale model kit set the world on fire, and Frog continued selling them until 1950.

The 1950s boomed US production. Aurora Plastics, Airfix, and Hawk began manufacturing model kits, roaring into the British rage that hobbyists loved. World War II model kits burst into the scenes to represent everything about Hitler’s demise. Model kits started with a bang, and there are over 100 brands in America today.

What are Model Kits and What Makes Them Collectible?

Model kits are the ideal collectibles for active hobbyists. A model kit depicts concepts, buildings, vehicles, military weapons, aircraft, anime characters, movie props, animals, clocks, Disney favorites, dollhouses, robots, engines, and tools. I’m only mentioning a few of the 41 model kit types.

Model kits are collectible because you can find one for any of your passions, which might fall into nostalgic origins. You’re likely to find a model kit for any desire you possess, and you get to enjoy assembling, painting, and gluing the pieces together to end with a finished model. It’s like a 3D puzzle for adults and kids.

Nostalgia is the most significant driver of collectible models. Trending brands and personal passions combine nostalgia with the active enjoyment of assembling tiny pieces to recreate a memory of something you love.

Expert Advice for Model Kit Hobbyists

Guide to Model Kits

Model kits bring a lot to the table for serious hobbyists and collectors. It would help to know the three cornerstones of model kit collections:

  1. You must know how to preserve the models.
  2. You should be aware of a significant threat to specific metal model kits.
  3. It’s about investing the right time.

Preserving Model Kits

Preservation is the key to extending the extraordinary life of your hard work once you assemble the models. The first rule is never to store model kits in the attic while waiting until you have time to complete them. You’d think the packaging protects the model pieces but think again.

Suppose you’re assembling small models that fit back into their packaging. In that case, use paper towels to gently wrap the finished model before it goes into the box. It only works if you don’t display the models. You can also use the paper towel wrapping for unassembled model kits until you get the time to enjoy them.

Storing finished models in plastic bags is not the way to go. The chemical makeup of the plastic bag can deteriorate the paint faster. Even worse, the paint can encourage chemical changes in the plastic, starting a destructive cycle of model deterioration. There’s a reason only certain plastics go into model kits.

Sterilite containers

Instead, use brown paper bags to store smaller finished models or Sterilite containers to protect and preserve larger models. You can even use brown paper bags or kitchen towels to wrap and store assembled models in smaller Sterilite containers. Your paint will last much longer when you preserve models this way.

A Common Threat to Metal Model Kits

Lead rot is the greatest enemy of metal-based model kits. It’s a form of rust that happens in many model kit metals because of the lead content. Prevention is better than reparation, and the only way to prevent it is to rotate your models from storage every three months. Never let a metal model rest for longer, or it erodes.

Any metal with lead in it will rust white. Watch for white patches appearing on your models because they’ll need a clean to prevent further damage. Use these steps to wash metal models with lead rot:

  1. Soak the models in white vinegar overnight.
  2. Boil them for 10 minutes in a pot with battery water or de-ionized water and remove them.
  3. Wash the models with a gentle liquid detergent in lukewarm water before rinsing them thoroughly. Use a soft toothbrush to wipe between grooves and details. Don’t wipe hard enough to damage the paint.
  4. Let the models rest on paper towels until they dry. You can also pat the models dry with paper towels. Be gentle if you pat them dry, and use a soft makeup brush to wipe away the towel residue.
  5. Repeat steps one to four as many times as you need to guarantee the end of lead rot.

Investing the Right Time and Passion

Are you like me? Do you love model kits and the vehicles, characters, and concepts they represent? If so, you’ll have to consider how much time you have to spend with your model assembly actively. I can also get carried away with buying new collectibles and fandom hobbies, but I also want to enjoy them for what they do.

Model kits require patience, accuracy, and long-term commitment if you’re into the challenging assembly kits. It’s hard to build a 1,000-piece model in a week when you have a full-time job or kids running around. You’ll learn about the difficulty levels soon, but only buy what you have the time and passion for enjoying.

Model Kit: Buying Guide

I use a simple two-rule system to buy model kits. Firstly, the kit must cost less than $200. Secondly, I want model kits with more than 100 pieces. That’s my sweet spot for difficulty levels. It also helps to understand the levels, materials, and scales before buying models. Follow three buying tips for model kits.

Rule 1: Consider Model Kit Levels

You should know the model kit levels before buying the one that caught your eye. Sadly, not every seller mentions the levels, but understanding the practical side means you won’t have to rely on sellers disclosing them anymore. Model kits run from level one to five, and the levels mean:

  • Level one model kits are easy-to-build and paint, containing between 10 and 30 pieces. Level one model kits should come with primer, glue, and paint or not need them to assemble the model. Level one model kits are the main kits that come with classic snap pieces that require no glue.
  • Level two model kits are slightly harder to assemble, containing between 30 and 80 pieces. The kit should come with paint, glue, and primer.
  • Level three model kits are intermediate kits, containing between 80 and 100 pieces. The kit will have glue, paint, and primer included.
  • Level four model kits become even more challenging, containing between 100 and 200 pieces. They’ll also have the primer, glue, and paint included.
  • Level five model kits are the most difficult to assemble, containing between 200 and more than 1,000 pieces. The kit should also have the paint, glue, and primer included.

Bonus Tip: Many model kits are 3D puzzles now, meaning they snap into each other without glue. It’s excellent news for wooden and plastic model kits, but be careful of metal 3D puzzle model kits. They might not last as long if you don’t solder the metal.

Rule 2: Choose the Best Model Materials in 2022

Different material models will have varying shelf lives. Model kits range from plastic scale models to diecast cars, and knowing your materials also helps to determine whether the price is worth it or not. Here’s a quick rundown of the different materials and how long they tend to last:

  • Plastic scale models or plastic models are also typically designed with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a common and durable plastic used for many action figures. PVC model kits can last around 30 years because the plastic is softer and more breakable than polystyrene.
  • Resin model kits are rare but cheap. They last around 30 to 50 years, depending on the model storage. Resin model kits are a step above PVC kits because they last longer, but you’ll also have to repaint them every few years.
  • Plastic scale models are typically polystyrene, a hard plastic. Most modern-day model kits that fall into my budget are plastic scale models. If you preserve your models the right way, they could last 50 to 60 years. Be careful of suppliers who sell combined plastic model kits.
  • Wooden model kits look incredible, and it’s a popular material in 2022. Wooden model kits last longer than PVC and polystyrene plastics, and they’re highly durable. Additionally, they don’t contain harmful plastic contaminants. Wooden models can last around 50 to 60 years if you preserve them correctly.
  • Pewter is dull and doesn’t sustain the paint job well over the years. On the contrary, pewter doesn’t tarnish quickly and remains durable for up to about 100 years. Pewter model kits are rare, but you find the soft metal in some kits like the Ford Mustang GT4 Pewter Model Kit.
  • Diecast scale model kits are one of the more popular materials, but they can become pricy. You commonly see car model kits in diecast materials, including the Maisto Red Ferrari Model Kit. Diecast has potential problems with erosion and rust if you don’t preserve them, but they last around 100 years.
  • “Metal gun barrels” model kits are also rare, but they’re durable and seem to hold the paintwork longer than pewter. Metal gun barrels come from turned brass and aluminum, meaning they can discolor over time. I recommend unpainted model kits for this material, but it lasts around 100 years preserved.

Model kits can also contain rubber, especially if you’re assembling a transport model. Rubber wheels are ideal if you’re into car model kits. However, they can push the price higher. Remember that the higher the overall quality of materials used, the more you’ll pay for the model kit.

Rule 3: To Scale or Not to Scale?

Finally, choose model kits by determining what scale you want. A 1:18 model scale means the model is 18 times smaller than the original version. If you buy a Mustang 1:10 model kit, the car will be a tenth of the original car’s size. Standardizing model kit scales helps for better displays, but consider how complex assembly becomes.

I can’t choose favorites from every model kit type because you’ll be reading this until tomorrow. Instead, I’ll select ten favorite categories, some of which I already own a model kit, and others I intend to buy one. I’ll also stick to my budget and the level four to five model kits I love. I like a challenge when building models.

Top Q&A

Question: Do I Paint the Model Before I Assemble It?
