model kit
Unbuilt plastic replica
A model kit is a set of parts and instructions for assembling a miniature replica of something—typically a vehicle, aircraft, ship, or figure.
Kits range from simple snap-together plastic pieces to complex assemblies requiring glue, paint, and hours of work: He spent the weekend building a model kit of a World War II bomber.
The hobby appeals to collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy the craft of precise assembly.
