Hobby Master Diecast Aircraft

Hobby Master diecast aircraft are finished models collected by aircraft type, unit, air arm, or marking.

Aircraft Sorted by Airframe and Marking

The aircraft side of the line usually comes down to a named airframe in a named unit. A Tomcat marked for VF-41 aboard USS Nimitz in 1982 belongs in a different run than an F-14A in VF-124's Bicentennial scheme. An F-16N from the US Navy Weapons School sits with adversary aircraft, while the F-16C “Rockslide” from the 706th Aggressor Squadron fits a later training shelf.

The current jet subjects here are generally handled as 1/72 scale display pieces. That keeps an F-4, F-14, F-16, F/A-18F, T-38, MiG-15, and Su-27 in the same scale family. Check each listing when matching an existing cabinet, since Hobby Master has used more than one aircraft scale across its wider range.

Korea, the Cold War, and Training Units

The MiG-15bis “Red 03” CPVA Korea 1950s points to the first large jet-versus-jet air campaign. The MiG-15 and F-86 are the usual pair in Korean War air collections.

The F-4F USAF 20th FS 49th FW Holloman AFB represents the Phantom in a training setting rather than a combat squadron shelf. The F-16B Centennial of Naval Aviation and the F/A-18F “Green Hornet” VX-23 2011 are marking-driven subjects. The Su-27P Flanker B “Red 98” Russian Navy places a large twin-engine fighter in Russian naval aviation markings, which separates it from the usual air force Flanker run.

Armor Subjects in the Same Line

The same collecting habit crosses into Hobby Master armor. British subjects such as the Centaur C.S. Mk.IV and Cromwell Mk.VI sit in the late-war cruiser tank family. The M8 Light Armored Car in Brazilian markings ties into the Brazilian Expeditionary Force in Italy. The Marder III and Sd.Kfz. 7 subjects fit German World War II vehicle shelves without requiring assembly or painting.
