WHY 1/144 SCALE?
THEY ARE SMALL. THEY USUALLY ARE CHEAP. THEY ARE USUALLY SIMPLE TO BUILD. SOME HAVE EXCELLENT DETAIL. THERE'S HUNDREDS OF THEM, AND THEY ARE MAKING MORE ALL THE TIME. MOST ARE PLASTIC. SOME ARE METAL. SOME ARE RESIN. YOU MUST HAVE THEM ALL. YOU CAN START RIGHT HERE.
1/144 PRE-BUILTS
ONE VERY EXCITING THING THAT HAS HAPPENED FOR THE 1/144 SCALE COLLECTORS IS THE ARRIVAL OF THE PRE-BUILT CANDY TOY COLLECTIBLES IN JAPAN.
THESE MODELS ARE VERY POPULAR, AND I THINK A LOT OF WEBSITE VISITORS COME HERE LOOKING FOR 1/144 PRE-BUILT MODELS. THEY REALLY HAVE PUT 1/144 SCALE ON THE MAP.
I NEVER CEASED TO BE AMAZED AT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT THE JAPANESE GIVE THEIR CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH, AND WHAT WE GIVE OURS.
AMONG A WORLD OF COLLECTIBLE MINIATURES, THERE IS A WIDE RANGE
OF 1/144 AIRCRAFT, ARMOR AND SUBMARINES.
THESE LITTLE MODELS, FROM SEVERAL COMPANIES,
FEATURE AMAZING DETAILS AND FINISHES.
FOR THE COLLECTOR, THERE ARE MANY AIRCRAFT MODELS AVAILABLE AS
PRE-BUILT COLLECTIBLES THAT ARE NOT AVAILABLE ANYWHERE AS KITS.
THAT'S THE GOOD NEWS.
THE PRE-BUILTS ARE VERY LIMITED PRODUCTION. IF YOU SEE A PLANE YOU NEED IN YOUR COLLECTION AND IT'S ONLY AVAILABLE AS PRE-BUILT,
YOU BETTER GRAB IT BECAUSE WHEN THEY ARE GOME
THEY ARE GONE.
AND THE PRICES ON EBAY GO RIGHT UP ON THOSE OLDER ONES.
I HAVE BEEN BUYING THEM ALL ALONG, AND I HAVE QUITE A FEW.
SO YOU ARE STARTING TO SEE SOME PRE-BUILTS IN MY COLLECTION.
I'LL BE GETTING SOME PICTURES UP SOON.
THEY ARE INDEED EXCELLENT MODELS, AND I DON'T THINK I CAN BUILD A KIT THAT TURNS OUT ANY BETTER.
I DON'T CLAIM TO BE ANY KIND OF EXPERT MODEL BUILDER.
BUT I DON'T THINK ANYBODY ENJOYS THE HOBBY MORE THAN I DO.
SOME OF THE KITS I HAVE BUILT TURNED OUT BETTER THAN OTHERS.
THE PICTURES ARE HERE FOR ALL TO SEE.
I HOPE THIS SITE IS HELPFUL AND INFORMATIVE FOR ALL VISITORS.
I HOPE YOU WILL SIGN MY GUESTBOOKS.
MOST OF ALL, HAVE FUN!
ALEX
