Plastic Model Airplanes Rock!

How poor have been our grandparents having only wooden and paper airplanes! At the time they have been kids, mahagony models have been the greatest thing they have ever been able to think about. Mahagony models are great, but are they everything? No, of course.

We are lucky to be able to play, built and collect plastic model airplanes. Why is plastic so great? I will share with you:

1. It is very robust material. Plastic is hard to break and sustains long time and all kind of air conditions. So even if you fly your model aicraft outside in the rain, there will be no problem.

2. Plastic is very light. In many cases plastic model airplanes are lighter than the aircraft made of wood. Often they can comoare in weight with paper airplanes. This means your powered model can fly much longer with less battery usage.

3. Plastic can come in different colors. If you buy a good kit of plastic model aircraft you may not even need to paint it. Of course some kits come with gray parts which need to be painted, but plastic can have any color you want.

4. Plastic is very appropriate for all kind of model airplanes. You'll find static ones, miliraty aircraft, helicopters, civilian airplanes, commercial model aircraft, spacecrafts, rockets - simply everything.

Some people will say that the only real models are those made of wood. I like the wooden models especially those from balsa wood, but I still cannot agree with them. Plastic is a great material for aviation models especially when the parts are created from high quality plastic.

Maybe the only problem is that it's harder to find raw plastic and build your models entirely from scratch. For scratch builders maybe the better option is to create paper or balsa wood airplane models.
