Modelers strive to build with care so the result looks like the real thing. Careful research from books, photos, and observing the full-size subjects comes into play.
Builders try to eliminate seams and create realistic paint jobs, along with adding extra details.
The scale of a model determines its size in relation to the real thing. A hobby shop is a good source. Many overseas firms accept major credit cards such as Visa and Mastercard. If you don't have a credit card, or if a vendor won't accept it, you can order kits with international money orders available at post offices and banks. Many large cities have modeling clubs, such as chapters of the International Plastic Modelers Society.
