The Maine Peapod Ship Wooden Model Kit
In 1952, friends combined their passions for model airplanes to develop a thriving business dedicated to providing high quality products to enthusiasts around the world. More than 50 years later, Midwest’s product line and distribution have grown and changed, but its passion for quality has remained steadfast.

Whichever hobby you choose - modeling, crafts, art and school projects, or do-it-yourself home projects - we offer a wide variety of materials for your projects - including woods, carbon fiber, foam, and cork, plus model airplanes, model boats, jewelry kits and stepping stone kits. So build something yourself – and enjoy the satisfaction of a job well done. The Maine Peapod is great for the intermediate-level builder.
