In the more than 20 years that Hobby Place has been trading, we have accumulated much knowledge on products that have become rare and valuable. Occasionally, we will have the opportunity in acquiring these items from personal contacts, or from a rummage in our storeroom.
 

OUT OF PRODUCTION ITEMS

These items are no longer produced. The few we have remaining in our inventory are available on a strictly limited “while stocks last” basis, so don’t delay in placing your order.

Expressions of interest can be sent to info@hobbyplace.com.au, or you can contact us by phone or fax (see the Contact Us page for details). If you’re in the greater Melbourne metropolitan area, why not drop by and check out the full range? We’re open seven days a week.

LARGE SCALE CARS

Huge, and hugely detailed, plastic model kits of road and racing cars. Many of these models make use of authentic materials such as rubber and metal parts to ensure a realistic finish. These kits are regarded as ‘classics’, and although today’s market trends are leading towards smaller models, the enjoyment to be had from building these much more detailed model kits remains unsurpassed.

FORMULA 1 MODELS

In the popular scales of 1:20 and 1:24 we stock a wide range of ‘F1’ models, most of which are now out of production. Most notable are the excellent Tamiya models, in the larger 1:20 scale, available both as plastic model kits and as the Collector’s Club series of pre-finished diecast metal display models.

Note: these models come with a clear plastic display case and plaque displaying the name of the car. We also sell display cases separately, if you want to display your own plastic models alongside these diecast display pieces.

MILITARY MODELS

Large Scale Tanks

Military modellers will enjoy these larger sized offerings. With enough parts and detail to keep the experienced modeller happy, these kits offer everything you’d expect from a Tamiya kit. With clear instructions and great parts that fit together easily, even beginner modellers will find these kits a pleasure to build.

Tamiya 1:25 Scale Tanks (Plastic Model Kits)

Medium Scale Tanks

The Tamiya military range has included many great kits over the years. Unfortunately this means they occasionally have to ‘retire’ older kits to make production lines available for the new ones. Not to worry, we still have stock of the following out-of-production kits. You’ll also find the full range of currently in-production items in store.

SCIENCE FICTION MODELS

What could be better than watching a classic movie? Why, building the fantastic spaceships and vehicles first brought to life on the big screen. Make your very own X-Wing or Millennium Falcon from the original “Star Wars” trilogy…or something else again! This is just part of our range of ‘space’ models – we also have modern-day rockets, space shuttles and space stations, as well as kits from other popular television series and movies such as Star Trek and Lost In Space.
