Explore X-Scale aircraft model kits at Mega Hobby, with 1/144 scale airliners, regional turboprops and specialized military aircraft. Build a classic passenger fleet around the HS-121 Trident and Douglas DC-8, add a Lufthansa Airbus A300 wide-body, or choose a maritime-patrol and electronic-warfare subject for a different aviation display.

X-Scale Airliner Model Kits in 1/144 Scale
Commercial aviation offers more variety than a single aircraft silhouette. A rear-engined Trident, a four-engine DC-8, a twin-engine A300 and an ATR regional turboprop each represent a different passenger-aircraft layout. Choosing them in the same scale makes the differences in fuselage proportions, wing position and engine arrangement visible across a display.
The X-Scale airliner selection includes the Douglas DC-8-61 in United Airlines markings, the Airbus A300B4-605R in Lufthansa colors and the ATR 42-300 American Eagle. The Hawker Siddeley HS-121 Trident 1C adds a British three-engine passenger jet to the group.
Maritime Patrol and Electronic Warfare Aircraft
X-Scale also offers subjects outside passenger service. The Lockheed P-3C Orion is a four-engine turboprop associated with anti-submarine and maritime-surveillance missions. The Douglas EC-24A brings a specialized electronic-warfare aircraft to a military collection.
These subjects make it possible to organize a display around aircraft roles as well as airlines. A patrol aircraft, a special-mission jet and a passenger transport can be compared at a common scale, while their equipment, markings and operating histories give each subject its own identity.
Plastic Kits with Decals and Painting Masks
The manufacturer's listings for these six kits specify plastic parts, assembly instructions, decals and stencil masks. Parts and sprue counts vary by aircraft; the individual Mega Hobby product pages identify the relevant contents. Glue and paints are supplied separately.
Choose the exact boxing before planning an airline scheme or military finish. Read the instruction and decal guide early, prepare enclosed areas before closing the fuselage, and dry-fit wings and engine assemblies before final gluing. Small antennas, landing gear and propeller parts can be easier to handle when their installation is planned around painting and decal application.
Build an Aircraft Collection with a Consistent Scale
At 1/144 scale, larger aircraft remain practical subjects for many display spaces. The aircraft's real dimensions still matter: a regional turboprop and a long passenger jet share a scale but occupy different amounts of shelf space. Use the individual model information and images when planning an airport scene or collection.
