1/35 Italeri #6516 20 ft Military Container

A scale model is a detailed, miniature replica of an object, such as a vehicle, aircraft, or building, created at a smaller size than the original. The "scale" refers to the model's size compared to the real object.

You'll need a model kit, which typically includes the parts, instructions, and sometimes decals. Additionally, you'll need a few basic tools like Hobby nippers, hobby knives, tweezers, plastic cement and paint.

As a beginner, it's best to start with a kit that matches your interests and skill level. Popular scales for beginners include 1/72 and 1/48 for aircraft, 1/35 for military vehicles. Choosing a subject you’re passionate about, whether it's cars, planes, or tanks, will make the building process more enjoyable and rewarding.
