Welcome to Scale Info, a section where you'll find information on plastic kits, books, decals and accessories as well as resources to help you enhance your models.

 

This site is not about build reports (although you will find some) but focuses on telling and showing what's in the package. Nor is it about the latest and (maybe) greatest kits. There's a mixture of the old and new just as you'd find at any hobby shop or online auction.

What you will find here is balanced reviews and information on kits, accessories, books and more.

Hopefully you will find information on that kit or product you've been thinking of getting or one that grabs your interest and you go on to track it down. At this point no products are sold from these pages.

Regarding prices it is the policy not to have them in reviews as there is such a wide variation from one source to another in today's market that they are quickly out of date.
