Everybody needs to do a few models in their time. Hobby Chest has model planes, boats, cars, trucks, tanks, artillery, and even robots and people. Model building is perfect for those who enjoy the attention to detail, craftsmanship and being able to have something to show for a weekend of relaxation.

It's also a great idea to get your kids to do something besides play Nintendo all day long. We've got simple 'snap-tite' models that don't require any glue or hobby knives, suitable for kids as young as four or five.

Some of our most popular models are the CH-46 helicopter and it's scheduled replacement, the V-22 Osprey. Everyone likes the MH-53E, and we're all anxiously waiting for the release of the 1/72 CH-53E by Italeri .. someday, soon.

We can't forget the 20th anniversary of everyone's favorite science fiction epic, Star Wars! Hobby Chest has a cut-away model of the Millennium Falcon, a fiber optic Star Destroyer as well as many other kits from all three movies, including highly detailed vinyl models of all the characters, such as Boba Fett.
