May 21, 2013: We're back from our first Wonderfest. Great show! It felt good to finally be able to "press the flesh" with flesh-and-blood customers and fellow sci-fi modelers.

At the show we introduced three kits now available in the Virtual Museum Store.

The first is the 1:48 Tremulis Zero Fighter, a rocket-powered high-altitude interceptor designed in 1944 by famed automotive designer Alex Tremulis. Mastered by Scott Lowther and cast by Acme Design, this 21-piece kit with detachable fighter is available now for $85.00 plus shipping.

Next is the 1:2500 Federation B-Class Waystation designed by "Star Trek" illustrated Meni for the 2006 "Star Trek: Ships of the Line' calendar. Mastered and cast exclusively for Fantastic Plastic Models by Millennia Models International (MMI), this beautiful 26-piece kit is available now for just $55.00 plus shipping.

And finally, we're thrilled to introduce our 1:72 Qaher 313, Iran's so-called "next generation" stealth fighter that debuted amidst much fanfare in early February. Quickly exposed as an obvious fraud, the design nontheless makes for a spiffy, if not unique model kit for aficionados of bizarre aircraft. It's just $70.00 plus shipping.

We also have three new 1:144 B5 adversary fighters that we're only selling via "private sale" to our e-newsletter subscribers. If you haven't already signed up, just enter your email address in the field in the upper right-hand corner of this page.

May 7, 2013: Our next release, the 1:48 Tremulis Zero Fighter U.S. Army High-Altitude Interceptor project from 1944, has been added to Concept Aircraft/1940s. The kit, which we're offerig for $85.00 plus shipping, will be available for general sale following Wonderfest (May 18-19). You can reserve your copy now by emailing us at FantasticPlast@aol.com. Also debuing at Wonderfest: The B5 Minbari Fighter in 1:114. This kit will sell for $55.00. After WF, it will only be available via private sale to our e-newsletter subscribers.

May 5, 2013: Here's another pending Wonderfest release: The Federation B-Class Waystation in 1:2500. This kit is based on an illustration featured in "Star Trek: Ships of the Line," published in 2006. The kit will sell for $55.00.

 
"Fantastic Plastic" is a scale modeling site that celebrates the weird, the wonderful, the odd, the radical, the exotic and the just plane cool aircraft and spacecraft model kits produced in styrene (and resin) over the last 60-plus years.  From bizarre World War II-era "project planes" to the latest science fiction concepts, here is a chronicle of Man's highest aspirations as expressed through his flying machines, both real and imagined.

The Fantastic Plastic "Virtual Museum of Flying Wonders" is divided into seven "galleries," each dedicated to a particular area of interest.  These are:

Whether your interest is "Luft '46," the American Space Program, X-planes, radical aircraft prototypes, "paper projects," Star Trek, Star Wars, hovercraft or UFOs, you are sure to find something here to ignite your passion -- and trigger wonderful memories.

And while you're here, please be sure to visit the Fantastic Plastic "Virtual Museum Store," where you'll find our exclusive line of unique aircraft and spacecraft model kits for sale.

Thanks for visiting.  Return often.   And...
