1:48 Scale

In military vehicle modeling, the 1:48 scale is a popular choice that strikes a balance between the larger, more detailed 1:35 scale and smaller scales. A model in this scale is 48 times smaller than its real-life counterpart. This results in finished vehicles that are large enough to accurately replicate fine details like rivets, weld seams, or armor texture, while not taking up as much shelf space as their larger counterparts. It is a scale appreciated by both beginners, who will value the lower parts count and easier painting, and advanced modelers creating extensive collections or dioramas.

What military vehicles can you find in 1:48 scale?

Our selection of 1:48 scale models primarily includes plastic model kits of military vehicles from various historical periods, with a special focus on World War II and the modern era. This category covers a wide range of machines: from legendary tanks like the T-34, Sherman, or Tiger, to tank destroyers, self-propelled guns, armored personnel carriers, and even lighter vehicles such as staff cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Also available are field artillery sets and soldier figures, which allow for the creation of complete and dynamic scenes.

1:48 Scale – Ideal for Dioramas

One of the biggest advantages of the 1:48 scale is its compatibility with aircraft models, which are very popular in this particular scale. This offers tremendous opportunities for creating realistic airfield or combat scene dioramas where ground vehicles interact with aircraft. Whether you want to build a single tank model or are planning a larger project, 1:48 scale models provide a satisfying final result, combining high detail with compact dimensions.
