Special Hobby
Special Hobby is a Czech manufacturer of plastic scale aircraft model kits, part of the MPM group based in Prague that has been producing kits since the early 1990s. The brand has earned an international following by tackling subjects that mainstream manufacturers tend to overlook, from obscure prototypes and prewar types to specific sub-variants of well-known aircraft. For modellers seeking something genuinely different, Special Hobby is one of the first names to consider.
The catalogue is built primarily around aircraft in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scales, spanning the pioneering era, both World Wars, the Cold War and modern jets, alongside selected vehicle and figure subjects. Many releases are limited edition or multi-media boxings that combine injection-moulded plastic with resin detail parts, photo-etched metal and high-quality decals, often with markings for several aircraft and nationalities in a single box. Because many kits are short-run or include resin and etched components, the range is generally best suited to intermediate and experienced builders.
At Wonderland Models, we stock a selection of Special Hobby model kits. Shop securely online for express shipping or visit our in-store experts in Edinburgh for personalised advice.
