Display Cases & Stands
Display Cases & Stands – Professional Presentation for Your Models
Every completed model is a source of pride and the result of many hours of precise work. To properly showcase it while protecting it from dust, moisture, or accidental damage, it's worth getting a suitable display case or stand. These are not just accessories, but key elements that highlight the character of your model and allow you to enjoy its appearance for years to come. In this category, you will find products designed for a professional and aesthetic display of your work, which will protect them and give them a final, exhibition-quality finish.
Model Display Cases – Protection and Aesthetics
The main purpose of a display case is to protect the model. Transparent walls, usually made of high-quality acrylic (plexiglass), effectively shield it from dust and other contaminants, as well as minimize the risk of mechanical damage. Acrylic is a lightweight material, safer than glass, and provides excellent clarity without distorting the model's colors. We offer display cases in various sizes, suitable for models of cars, airplanes, ships, figurines, or dioramas. Some of them feature a solid plastic or wooden base, which adds extra stability to the display.
Model Stands – Dynamic Display
A model stand is more than just a simple base. It allows you to present the model attractively, often in a dynamic pose that wouldn't be possible by simply placing it on a shelf. We offer stands dedicated to various types of models – from simple, elegant bases for vehicle models to advanced stands for aircraft models that allow you to position them in a flight pose. Also available are stands that simulate a piece of terrain, such as an airfield tarmac, a section of a road, or a water surface, which serve as an excellent complement to a diorama and add realism to the model.
Model Decals
What are model decals?
Model decals, often called water-slide decals, are a key element for giving a model a realistic and authentic appearance. They consist of very thin films with printed designs (markings, numbers, emblems) placed on a special paper backing. After being soaked in water, the film separates from the paper, allowing it to be transferred onto the model's surface. Thanks to them, you can accurately replicate historical markings of military units, tactical numbers, stencils, or symbols characteristic of aircraft, armored vehicles, and ships. Without well-applied decals, even the best-assembled and painted model will look unfinished.
Types of decals and their application
Our offer includes decals for models in the most popular scales, such as 1:72, 1:48, 1:35, and 1:24. We have sets dedicated to specific machines, as well as universal sheets with letters, numbers, or emblems for creating custom markings. We offer decals for models from various periods – from World War I, through World War II, to modern military and civilian designs. With such a wide range, you can easily choose the right set for your project, whether you're building a Polish 'Łoś,' a German Tiger, or an American Mustang.
How to apply decals correctly?
For a smooth and durable decal application, it's worth using specialized modeling fluids. Softening solutions (e.g., decal softeners) make the decal conform perfectly to irregular surfaces like panel lines or rivets. On the other hand, setting solutions (decal setters) improve adhesion and eliminate the risk of air bubbles. Proper use of these products ensures that the markings will look as if they were painted directly on the model.
Metal and Photo-Etched Accessories
Metal and photo-etched accessories are a product category designed for modelers looking to enhance the realism and detail of their scale models. If the standard parts from your plastic kit aren't enough, here you will find details that will transform the appearance of your tank, airplane, or ship. Using these add-ons allows for the faithful replication of the finest elements, such as mesh grilles, buckles, and equipment components, which are often simplified or omitted entirely in plastic injection molding. It's an excellent way to give your model a unique, professional look.
What are photo-etched accessories?
Photo-etched parts, often called 'photo-etch' or 'PE,' are thin sheets of metal (usually brass or stainless steel) from which miniature details have been cut using a precise chemical etching process. In photo-etch sets, you'll find parts like ventilation grilles, radiator grilles, seat belts for pilots and drivers, instrument panels, windshield wipers, ship railings, and much more. Assembling them requires precision and the use of cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue), but the final result is well worth the effort, offering a level of sharpness and detail impossible to achieve with plastic.Metal Upgrade Parts for Models
In addition to photo-etch, this category also includes other metal accessories such as turned barrels for cannons and machine guns, metal tracks, exhaust pipes, antennas, and tow cables. Unlike their plastic counterparts, these parts have no mold seam lines and often feature a perfectly round cross-section (for barrels) or realistic weight and sag (for tracks). They are ready to be assembled and painted, offering a straightforward way to significantly enhance the look of crucial model components. Resin Accessories
Resin accessories are high-quality parts that allow for a significant increase in the level of detail on plastic models. Made from polyurethane resin, they feature much greater precision and crisper details compared to standard injection-molded parts. They enable modelers to create unique versions of vehicles, aircraft, or ships by adding elements the manufacturer didn't include in the kit or by replacing oversimplified ones. Working with resin requires a bit more care than handling plastic, but the final result fully compensates for the effort, allowing you to create a miniature that stands out for its realism and accuracy. This makes them an excellent choice for any modeler looking to take their build beyond what's offered straight out of the box.
Types and Applications of Resin Aftermarket Parts
Our range includes a wide variety of resin accessories suitable for nearly any modeling project. We offer complete detailing sets, such as highly detailed aircraft cockpits, interiors for armored vehicles, and engine bays. Individual parts are also very popular, such as wheels with realistic tire sag, gun barrels, ejection seats, and armament sets. For diorama enthusiasts, we offer a rich selection of resin figures, including tank crews, pilots, and soldiers from different historical periods. In this category, you can also find conversion kits, which allow you to rebuild a standard model into a less common variant, for instance, by fitting a new tank turret or a different type of aircraft fuselage.How to Work with Resin Parts?
Working with resin is straightforward if you follow a few basic rules. First, carefully cut the resin parts from their casting blocks, preferably using a modeling saw. Then, before gluing and painting, thoroughly wash each part in warm, soapy water to remove any residual mold release agent from the casting process. Use cyanoacrylate adhesives (CA glue) to bond resin parts to each other or to plastic. As resin dust is harmful to your health, sanding and cutting should be done in a well-ventilated area or while wearing a dust mask. Applying a primer before painting will ensure better paint adhesion and a durable finish. Plastic Model Accessories
Plastic accessories are ready-made sets of parts used to upgrade, modify, or repair scale models. If a basic model kit isn't enough for you and you want to increase the realism of your miniature, this category is for you. Here, you'll find elements for detailing—enhancing your model with features that the manufacturer either omitted from the original box or presented in a simplified form. With these add-ons, you can give your project a unique character, replicate a specific historical vehicle or aircraft, or simply improve the look of the finished build.
What types of plastic accessories do we offer?
Our selection includes a variety of accessories tailored to specific needs. These include wheel sets with more detailed treads, precision-made barrels for tanks and artillery, as well as complete interiors for armored vehicles and aircraft cockpits. We also offer add-on armor, stowage boxes, tools, jerry cans, and other external equipment that can be added to military vehicle models. For diorama enthusiasts, we have prepared sets of barrels, crates, and sandbags to help create a realistic environment for your model.

Who are plastic add-ons for?
Plastic detailing sets are an excellent choice for both beginners and advanced modelers. For those just starting their journey with model enhancement, they offer a simple way to achieve better results without complex modifications. Experienced hobbyists, on the other hand, will appreciate the ability to accurately replicate details and save time compared to scratch-building parts. Regardless of your skill level, plastic accessories open up new creative possibilities and help elevate the quality of any scale model.
Modeling Masks
What are modeling masks?
Modeling masks are ready-to-use, precision-cut stencils made from thin, self-adhesive foil that greatly simplify painting complex parts on plastic models. Instead of the tedious and often inaccurate task of cutting shapes from masking tape, you can use a pre-made product perfectly tailored to a specific model kit. The primary use for these masks is painting clear canopies, where precision is crucial for achieving a realistic look. These stencils allow for the precise painting of canopy frames, leaving clean and sharp edges without the risk of overspray on the clear 'glass' areas.
In addition to canopies, masks are also used for painting wheels (to separate the tire from the rim), intricate camouflage patterns, insignia, and inspection panels. The process is straightforward: simply peel the relevant piece from the sheet, apply it to the designated area on the model, and once the paint has dried, gently remove it. Using pre-cut masks is a significant time-saver and ensures consistent, professional results that are difficult to achieve with manual methods.
How to choose the right masks?
When choosing masks, there are several key factors to consider. First and foremost, you need to ensure they are designed for the specific model kit you own – this means checking both the manufacturer (e.g., Tamiya, Eduard, Revell) and the model's scale (e.g., 1:72, 1:48). This information is always provided in the product description. Masks are made from different materials, most commonly from yellow 'kabuki' tape, which is flexible, conforms well to curved surfaces, and leaves no adhesive residue upon removal. Our store offers masks from leading manufacturers, designed for hundreds of aircraft, armored vehicle, and other model kits.
Zimmerit
What is Zimmerit in Scale Modeling?
Zimmerit is the name of a historical anti-magnetic paste that was applied to the armor of German combat vehicles during World War II. Its purpose was to protect against hand-placed magnetic mines. The characteristic waffle or ridged texture of this coating is now a key element for modelers striving for the most faithful representation of historical tanks and assault guns, such as the Tiger, Panther, or StuG. In this category, you will find products that allow you to easily and precisely add this detail to your model, significantly enhancing its realism and visual appeal.
Types of Zimmerit for Scale Models
Applying Zimmerit to a model can be done in several ways, depending on the modeler's preferences and skill level. Our store offers ready-made solutions that simplify this process. The most popular among them are thin resin or photo-etched sheets with a pre-molded pattern. You simply need to cut them to size and glue them to the model's surface. This is a fast and precise method, ideal for those who value a consistent pattern. Another option is 3D decals, which are applied similarly to standard ones but have a raised texture that imitates Zimmerit. For modelers who want to achieve a unique, irregular effect or replicate damage to the coating, there are specialized putties and fillers. These are applied directly to the model, and the pattern is then impressed using dedicated tools like spatulas, combs, or rollers. The choice of the right product depends on the model's scale, the specific vehicle, and the desired final effect.
Firearms
The 'Firearms' category contains miniature armament replicas used for detailing, which means enhancing the level of detail on plastic models. If the standard armament parts in your kit seem too simplified, here you will find precisely crafted replacements. These types of accessories are indispensable when building models of military vehicles, such as tanks, armored personnel carriers, or cars, as well as for creating realistic dioramas and arming soldier figures. Thanks to them, every project gains authenticity and looks much more professional.
Types of Weapons and Popular Scales
Our offer includes models of a wide variety of firearm types, from historical World War II rifles like the German Kar98k or the Soviet Mosin, to modern designs such as the M4 carbine or AK-74. Here you'll find pistols, machine guns (e.g., MG42, M2 Browning), as well as grenade launchers and specialized weapons. Most products are made from high-quality resin, which allows for the replication of the finest details, often impossible to achieve with plastic injection molding technology. We offer weapons in the most popular modeling scales, primarily 1:35, 1:48, and 1:72, allowing you to match these accessories to most kits available on the market.Assembly and Painting of Accessories
Using resin weapon models is straightforward and a great step in developing your modeling skills. The parts typically require careful removal from the casting block, followed by cleaning and assembly using cyanoacrylate adhesive (like 'Super Glue'). Although sometimes kit parts may need to be modified or removed to fit the new component, the final result is well worth the effort. After assembly, the weapon needs to be painted, which provides an additional opportunity for personalization. You can replicate metallic surfaces, wooden stocks, or signs of wear and tear, further enhancing the realism of the finished model. Tracks, Wheels & Suspensions
This category contains aftermarket upgrade parts that enhance the realism and detail of vehicle models, primarily tanks and armored fighting vehicles. The standard plastic running gear components included in model kits are often a compromise between quality and cost. Using dedicated tracks, wheels, or suspension elements enables a more faithful reproduction of the historical vehicle's details, improves its appearance, and corrects any potential errors from the kit manufacturer. This is an excellent way to make your model stand out on the shelf and be truer to the original. Investing in these details is a key step in advanced scale modeling.
Types of Tracks, Wheels, and Suspensions in Scale Modeling
The range primarily includes two main types of products. The first is model tracks, most often available as individual metal links or as pre-assembled resin or plastic sections. Metal tracks are heavier, which allows for a natural sag over the road wheels—an effect that is difficult to achieve with plastic parts. The second group is wheels and suspension components. Replacing stock kit wheels with resin counterparts often provides a more accurate tread pattern, tires with realistic sag under the vehicle's weight (known as 'weighted wheels'), or more precisely replicated bolts and hub details. Complete suspension sets are also available to correct simplifications in the original kit.
When choosing the right set, several key aspects should be considered. The most important are the model's scale (e.g., 1:35, 1:48, 1:72), its manufacturer, and the specific vehicle type (e.g., Pz.Kpfw. IV Ausf. H by Dragon). Aftermarket part manufacturers always specify which kit a particular set is designed for, which minimizes the risk of a mismatch. For beginner modelers, resin wheels can be a great starting point, as they are relatively simple to install and provide a noticeable improvement. More advanced modelers might opt for metal tracks, which are more labor-intensive to assemble, but the final result is often spectacular.
Wheels & Tires
Model Wheels — Tires and Rims for Every Project
This category features tires and rims, crucial components for any model vehicle. Whether you're building a remote-controlled RC car or a precise plastic scale model, the right wheels have a huge impact on the final look and functionality. A quality tire and a matching rim are not just aesthetic details; they often determine the driving characteristics of an RC model or the level of realism in static models. We offer a wide range of products to help you match wheels to your specific vehicle, regardless of its scale, type, or purpose. You'll find complete wheel sets as well as separate tires and rims, giving you full freedom to customize your project.
How to Choose the Right Tires and Rims for Your Model?
The choice of appropriate wheels depends mainly on the type of model you have. For remote-controlled (RC) models, the intended use is key. Different tires are needed for off-road models, where grip on loose surfaces is crucial, versus on-road models designed for high-speed driving on asphalt. The tire material (rubber compound) and tread pattern directly affect traction and handling. For plastic scale models, on the other hand, historical accuracy and realism are the priority. Modelers look for tires with specific tread patterns, correct sidewall markings, or rims with designs characteristic of a particular vehicle and era. It's also worth noting the material – tires for static models are often made of rubber or vinyl to faithfully replicate the original's appearance.
What to Consider When Buying?
Before buying wheels, you should check a few key parameters. The most important is the model's scale (e.g., 1:10, 1:18, 1:24), which determines the diameter of the tires and rims. For RC models, the mounting system is also crucial – the most common is a hexagonal hub (or 'hex') of a specific size (e.g., 12 mm). You should also check the width of the rim and tire to ensure they will fit your model's body and suspension. Choosing the right wheels is an easy way to achieve visual and mechanical tuning. Swapping to more stylish rims or tires with better performance can completely change your model's character, giving it a unique style or improving its performance on the track.
Ammunition

Thanks to their adhesive backing, application is straightforward and requires no special tools—simply clean and prepare the plastic deck surface thoroughly, then carefully apply the wooden part. Another option is photo-etched decks, which are excellent for replicating metal gratings, hatch covers, and other fine, openwork details on the deck. Often, detail-up sets combine both wooden and photo-etched parts, offering a comprehensive solution for detailing your model.
The choice of deck depends on the type of model and the desired effect. Wooden decks offer unparalleled realism, eliminating the need for complex painting to simulate a wood grain effect. They are an excellent choice for both beginners and advanced modelers looking to save time and achieve a professional result. Once applied, the deck can be further protected with a varnish or treated with weathering products to create a worn appearance and blend it seamlessly with the rest of the model.
Instrument Panels
Instrument Panels – The Key to a Realistic Cockpit
Instrument panels are one of the most crucial elements for achieving a realistic model interior, especially for aircraft, but also for armored vehicles and ships. The cockpit and its details are often the main focal point for any observer. Stock parts, molded in plastic, are often simplified and fail to fully capture the detail of the original. In this category, you will find ready-to-use sets that allow you to easily replace or enhance the standard components, giving your model a professional look without the tedious task of painting the tiniest dials and gauges.
We offer various types of instrument panels, tailored to the needs and skill levels of every modeler. The most popular are pre-painted, ready-to-install panels, like those from Yahu Models, which you simply glue in place of the stock part. They consist of several layers, creating an excellent 3D effect. Also available are photo-etched parts (e.g., from Eduard), which require painting and assembly but offer the highest level of detail. You will also find decals with printed dials and innovative 3D-printed resin panels that combine detail with ease of assembly.
When choosing an instrument panel, remember to match it to the specific aircraft or vehicle model and its scale (e.g., 1:72, 1:48, 1:32). With these accessories, even a basic model gains authenticity, and its cockpit becomes a miniature work of art, faithfully replicating the real machine.
Tow Cables
Realism in Every Detail – Types of Tow Cables
Tow cables are a key detail that significantly enhances the realism of scale models, especially military vehicles, trucks, or construction machinery. In this category, we have assembled a wide selection of cables that allow for a precise representation of this piece of equipment. Our assortment includes cables made from various materials to best suit your needs and the model's scale. We offer metal cables, most often copper or steel, which are characterized by their natural appearance and weight, making it easier to arrange them realistically on the armor. Synthetic ropes made from special threads are also available, perfectly imitating the texture of real ropes. Sets often include photo-etched or resin tow hooks (shackles) that allow for professional assembly.
How to Mount and Weather Tow Cables?
The choice of the right cable depends on the vehicle type and scale. After matching the thickness and material, you can proceed with assembly. Metal cables are easy to shape, allowing you to give them the desired sag on the armor. After gluing the ends in the appropriate places, it's worth taking care of the weathering. Using paints, pigments, or washes will help achieve the effect of rust, dust, or mud, making the cable look heavily used. For synthetic ropes, you can first paint them a steel color and then subject them to similar weathering techniques. This small addition will become a key, eye-catching element that emphasizes the authenticity of your project.
3D Decals
What are 3D decals and how do they enhance model realism?
3D decals are modern modeling accessories that allow for achieving an incredibly realistic, three-dimensional effect on plastic models. Unlike classic, flat water-slide decals, 3D versions have a tangible and visible texture. They are most often made of precisely applied resin on a clear carrier film, which creates raised details. Thanks to them, you can easily replicate elements that would be very time-consuming and difficult to paint by hand, especially for beginner modelers. These types of decals perfectly imitate instrument panels in airplanes and cars, panels with switches, seat belts for pilots or crew, and even the heads of rivets or screws. They add depth to the model and make the final result much more convincing.
Application and advantages of using raised decals
One of the biggest advantages of 3D decals is their ease of use. Application does not require specialized softening solutions, as is the case with traditional decals. Usually, you just need to carefully cut the required element from the sheet, remove it from the carrier film with tweezers, and place it in the desired location on the model. The adhesive on the back of the decal ensures a good hold, although in some cases, you can further secure the detail with a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue or varnish. Using pre-made 3D details is a huge time-saver and guarantees consistency and precision that is difficult to match with brush painting. In this category, you will find a wide selection of 3D decals for aircraft, armored, and civilian vehicle models in various scales. We offer both sets dedicated to specific machines and universal sheets with various types of gauges, placards, or rivets.
3D Prints
What are 3D Prints in Scale Modeling?
3D prints are a modern solution for creating highly precise and detailed parts to enhance your scale models. 3D printing technology, most often using UV-cured resins, enables the creation of complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible to produce with traditional plastic injection molding. This allows modelers to enrich their projects with details unavailable in standard kits, significantly increasing their realism and value. In this category, you'll find ready-to-use prints that simply need to be prepared and integrated into your model. They are an excellent alternative to traditional resin or photo-etched parts, often offering an even higher level of detail.
What 3D Accessories Can You Find Here?
Our range of 3D prints includes a wide assortment of accessories for various types of models – from armored vehicles and aircraft to ships and civilian vehicles. Here you can find detailed cockpit and combat compartment interiors, armament sets like machine guns and cannon barrels, realistically patterned wheels and tracks, as well as small details such as tools, jerrycans, and crew gear. We also offer complete conversion sets that allow you to transform a standard model into a less common variant. Each part is designed with meticulous attention to historical and technical accuracy, ensuring a perfect fit and an outstanding final result.
Working with 3D printed parts is similar to working with resin components. Before use, the print should be carefully cut from its supports, then cleaned and any remnants smoothed out. Cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended for attaching the prints to the model. While working with these parts requires some care, the resulting unique and highly-detailed model is well worth the effort.
