1/72 Scale Armor Model Kits
The 1/72 scale is one of the most popular scales in armor modeling, offering a compelling balance between detail and compact size. Whether you're building a WWII-era tank, a Cold War self-propelled gun, or a modern military vehicle, 1/72 scale armor kits deliver impressive detail at a manageable footprint — ideal for both display collectors and active workbench builders.
Tanks
Armored fighting vehicles are the centerpiece of 1/72 scale armor modeling. The category spans iconic subjects from WWII through the modern era, covering Allied, Axis, and Soviet armor across every major theater of operations. Browse the 1/72 Scale Model Tanks collection to explore the full range of available subjects.
Half Tracks
Half tracks served as the backbone of mechanized infantry operations throughout WWII, functioning as armored personnel carriers, artillery tractors, and command vehicles. The 1/72 Half Track category covers a range of Allied and Axis subjects that complement any armor diorama or vehicle collection.
Self-Propelled Guns
Tank destroyers and assault guns played a decisive role in armored warfare, combining firepower with mobility on a tracked chassis. The 1/72 Self-Propelled Gun category includes a variety of subjects from multiple nations and conflicts, offering strong options for builders focused on fire support and anti-tank subjects.
Military Vehicles
Support vehicles — trucks, jeeps, motorcycles, and utility transports — are essential to any realistic diorama or order-of-battle display. The 1/72 Military Vehicles category covers the logistical backbone of modern and historical armies across multiple scales of conflict.
Fixed Weapons
Artillery pieces, anti-aircraft guns, and emplaced weapons add tactical depth and historical accuracy to any armor scene. The 1/72 Fixed Weapons category spans a range of crew-served weapons and static emplacements from WWII and beyond.
Aftermarket Upgrades
Detail sets, resin components, photo-etch parts, and specialty accessories allow builders to push their 1/72 armor builds well beyond the box. The 1/72 Tanks and Military Vehicles Aftermarket collection is the starting point for upgrading any kit in the lineup.
About 1/72 Scale Armor Modeling
At 1/72 scale, one inch represents six feet of real-world size, making these kits ideal for diorama builders and collectors who want to display multiple vehicles together without requiring a large footprint. The scale is widely supported by aftermarket manufacturers and is a natural entry point for modelers transitioning from aircraft to armor subjects. Manufacturers such as Italeri and Revell are well-known contributors to the 1/72 armor category globally.
