Editing Plastic model kit (section)

==Subjects==

The most popular subjects of plastic models by far are vehicles such as [[aircraft]], [[ship]]s, [[automobiles]], and [[armored vehicle]]s such as tanks. The majority of models throughout its early history depict military vehicles,{{Citation needed|date=May 2009}} due to the wider variety of form and historical context compared to civilian vehicles. Other subjects include [[science fiction]] vehicles and mecha, real [[spacecraft]], buildings, animals, human(oid) dolls/action figures, and characters from pop culture.

While military, ship, and aircraft modelers prize accuracy above all, modelers of automobiles and science-fiction themes may attempt to duplicate an existing subject, or may depict a completely imaginary subject. The creation of custom automobile models is related to the creation of actual [[custom car]]s and often an individual may have an interest in both, although the cost of customizing a real car is obviously enormously greater than that of customizing a model.
