Shop plastic aircraft model kits at Fairfield Collectibles, an extensive lineup from Italeri, Academy, and more spanning WWII warbirds to modern fighter jets. Most kits in this collection build to 1:48 scale, the traditional standard for detailed aircraft modeling, with companion paint sets available to match specific eras and air forces.

Why Build Aircraft Model Kits?

Aircraft kit building rewards research as much as assembly — getting a squadron's markings, camouflage pattern, and cockpit detail right takes real study, which is why manufacturers like Italeri and Academy publish extensively researched instructions alongside each kit. Unlike pre-built diecast aircraft, a kit lets you choose your own paint scheme and decal option within a single build, often letting one kit represent several different real aircraft depending on the markings you choose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What scale are most aircraft kits built to?
1:48 is the most common scale in this collection, with select cockpit detail kits available in larger 1:12 scale for builders who want maximum interior detail.

Do these kits come with paint included?
Most kits are sold unpainted, though a small number of companion acrylic paint sets — matched to specific air forces and eras like WWII USAAC or modern USAF — are included in this collection to pair with your build.

What's the difference between this collection and your diecast aircraft models?
These are unassembled plastic kits you build and paint yourself; our diecast Aircraft Models collection is fully built and finished, ready to display without any assembly.

Are these kits historically accurate to specific squadrons?
Yes — manufacturers like Italeri and Academy research documented squadron markings and paint schemes, and most kits include decal options for more than one real aircraft.
