Airfix is one of the biggest, and best known, makers of military models. They have a wide variety of plastic model kits and some unique types for beginners and for diorama makers.

AIRFIX Starter Sets

Airfix has a unique line of starter gift sets. They are inexpensive jets and plane model kits that include paints, a brush and cement. Skill level 1 and an easy introduction to model making. You can check them out on amazon here.

AIRFIX Diorama and Gift Sets

Airfix also has an interesting series of gift sets and diorama sets. Some are generic military scenes and some depict specific battles. I like these sets because not a lot of manufacturers offer military specific dioramas. You can check them out on amazon here
