Wooden Model Kits - Part 3 of a 4 Part Series

Wooden Kits - Something a little different Balsa Airplane Kits

From Guillow’s you will find a variety of Balsa
Airplane kits. These range from simple three
piece gliders to large complex models (where
you'll be gluing each strut in place, attaching a
“skin” over the body made of tissue paper and
finally painting your finished airplane). Tools
required for building balsa airplanes include
hobby knives and files, wood/balsa glue, fuel
proof dope (a thick glue used to seal the tissue
paper to the finished body and provide
strength), and of course paints. Different skill
levels and interests.
Our selection includes airplanes, buildings, vehicles, and ships (both small and large). We have lots to choose
from!
Matchitecture - All-In-One Canadian Made Wooden Kits

Matchitecture is a line of all-in-one wooden kits in which you build 3D structures and vehicles. Each kit comes

to the size shown in the instructions and gluing the pieces together accordingly. Some of the designs include
vehicles, famous buildings, and bridges. If you wish to make your own design, we also sell the refill kits.
