replica model

Detailed small duplicate

A replica model is a scaled or full-sized reproduction of an object, typically a vehicle, building, or historical artifact, created to closely imitate the original's appearance.

The term is somewhat redundant since both words suggest copying, but replica model emphasizes that the item is a physical three-dimensional construction rather than a mere image or description.

He built a replica model of the Titanic from a kit.

These are popular among hobbyists, collectors, and museums for display or educational purposes.
