When the plastic cools and hardens, the parts are popped out of the tool. They will then press the two tools together and inject liquid styrene plastic into the engraving. A model kit manufacturer will create a “tool” (two halves of steel plate that have been engraved with the shape of the kit’s parts). Plastic models are generally produced using a process called injection molding. Plastic model kits are replicas of various subjects, ranging from military (aircraft, ships, tanks) to science fiction (Star Wars, Star Trek, space), from model cars and trucks to figure models. What is a plastic model kit?Ī plastic model kit is a scale model that consists of unassembled plastic parts, and is available in “snap-together” form or for assembly using plastic glue. On this section of our site, we guide you through the process, from the first time you step into a hobby shop, until your build is complete and you’re ready to grab another kit. With the number of available items to purchase, just trying to figure out what to buy is overwhelming. Yet, picking up your first plastic model kit can indeed be daunting. No other hobby allows you to recreate scale models of real-life (or fictional) items with such detail. Are you looking to get into plastic model kit building? Or is your child interested in trying one out? Building a model kit is one of the most rewarding hobbies – and in our opinion, the best.
