Disney Planes Models – The Perfect Kids’ Gift

Disney’s “Planes” brings the excitement of flight to the big screen in a fast-paced animated adventure – and now, you’re able to bring the excitement of Planes home with 1:100 model planes of Dusty Crophopper, Skipper Riley, Ripslinger, and more from Zvezda!

Each model comes in a snap-fit assembly kit, with no-glue required to put together these colorful action heroes and villains.

The lack of glue makes it a perfect gift for the youngest fans of airplane models, allowing them to begin building their first models without messy glue. With these colorful models, you can relive Dusty’s epic adventure to New York, the Pacific theater, and beyond!  Once assembled, they make the perfect bookshelf or nightstand accent. It’s a great way to begin learning how to assemble model planes and pass a love for modeling down to the next generation.

Squadron is proud to offer these colorful models by Zvezda including the beautiful Rochelle prop plane, tough Skipper Riley, evil Ripslinger, crazy El Chupacabra, royal Bravo fighter jet, and the hero of it all, Dusty Crophopper. Browse our new models below to find your new favorite model today!

Squadron at the CAF AirPower Expo in McKinney

Here at Squadron, we could not be prouder, or more excited, about taking part in the Commemorative Air Force AirPower Expo earlier in McKinney, October 3 -5, in McKinney, Texas, a short drive from Dallas.

The Commemorative Air Force took over the Collin County Regional Airport for four days of exciting flying action, aircraft history, and a host of other fun events. The AirPower Expo featured some of the most majestic flying machines from World War II including the B-17 Flying Fortress, one of the most famous bombers of World War II. The best part? Visitors took to the skies themselves with airplane rides in the B-17 Flying Fortress, as well as the B-24 Liberator “Diamond Lil”, D-25 Mitchell “Devil Dog”, and more – giving them a truly authentic, thrilling historical experience of riding in the same planes used in combat.

While airplane rides might be the most exciting part of the airshow, that was only the beginning of the fun. On the ground, cockpit tours of historical aircraft, classic cars, food trucks, educational programs, and a big band concert rounded out this weekend of fun!

Squadron has helped sponsor this event, and was on site with our own model airplane kits of majestic World War II aircraft. We had the chance to meet with our fellow aircraft enthusiasts and offer them the highest detailed airplane models, as well as introducing those who are interested in aircraft to the hobby of modeling – giving them a chance to recreate their favorite aircraft at home, to their own details and specifications! Over the course of the weekend we introduced dozens of people to the hobby of airplane modeling, and offered exclusive models to veteran enthusiasts - it truly was a blast!

Of course, we didn't spend ALL our time introducing people to airplane models – we got the chance to watch real planes action as they dazzled in the sky above, as well as enjoying the concert and delicious food! We're excited to do it all again next year - stay tuned to our blog to see where we'll be next!
