Military

The realm of military modelling offers a wealth of variety, from tanks and self-propelled guns, to softskins, artillery and much more. Common scales are 1/35, 1/48 and 1/72, although kits in 1/76 and 1/16 are also available. Top names include MiniArt, ICM, Dragon, Airfix, Tamiya, Trumpeter and AFV Club, but there are many more manufacturers offering relevant products.
