Sluban model kits and building block sets
Sluban makes detailed building block models of famous aircraft, armoured vehicles and ships, from the WWII Lancaster bomber and Tiger tank to the modern F-35 and the RMS Titanic. Each kit is a hands-on project and a finished model you can display on a shelf or desk. They suit model builders, history fans and collectors, and many make a great gift. The durable bricks clutch firmly together and work with other leading building block brands, so your collection can keep growing.

Fighter jets
Start with the F/A-18E Super Hornet, a 682-piece carrier fighter of the type also flown by the Royal Australian Air Force, or the 1:44 F-35 Lightning with its pilot minifigure. The A-10 Warthog and J-50 stealth fighter are also 1:44. For a premium shelf piece, the J-35 and J-20 Mighty Dragon have a titanium silver metal-coated finish and an in-flight display stand.
Bombers and transport aircraft
The Lancaster "G for George" recreates the Avro Lancaster flown by No. 460 Squadron RAAF, with accurate markings, spinning propellers and a 71cm wingspan. It sits well beside the B-17 Flying Fortress and the twin-engine C-47 Skytrain, all at 1:44.
Helicopters and tiltrotors
The UH-60 Black Hawk is a medical rescue version with a rotating main rotor and opening cabin doors. The 1:44 AH-64D Apache brings detailed rotors and cockpit styling, while the 1,142-piece MV-22 Osprey captures the tiltrotor design that blends a helicopter with a plane.
Tanks and armoured vehicles
Our 1:35 armour covers WWII icons like the Tiger I and Panther G, plus the modern M1A2 Abrams TUSK and M3A3 Bradley. The desert-camo M1A2 V2 Abrams has a 360-degree rotating turret, working tracks and tank crew minifigures.
WWII battle dioramas
Build a whole scene rather than a single vehicle. Choose the Atlantic Wall bunker with its radar array and anti-aircraft gun, the Battle of Budapest railway bridge checkpoint, or the Battle of Iwo Jima with a 27cm island bunker, landing craft and nine minifigures. The largest is the 2,287-piece Battle of Sainte-Mère-Église.
Warships and ocean liners
The 2,401-piece 1:350 RMS Titanic is the biggest set in the range and comes with a display base. Naval fans can also build the 1:350 USS Missouri, the Bismarck at over 60cm long, the 1:200 HMS Victory with masts and sails, or the 1:450 aircraft carriers Fujian and Shandong.
More for kids and collectors
For younger kids aged 3 and up, we also have a sand and water table with waterfall wall and a 4-tier waterfall sand and water table. Collectors can protect their display with a 50-pack of acid-free Funko Pop! vinyl protectors.
Model scale guide
A scale of 1:44 means the model is 44 times smaller than the real thing, so a lower second number means a larger scale.
Tanks and armoured vehicles. The largest scale in the range, so details like tracks and turrets really stand out.
Most of our aircraft, including the Lancaster, B-17, F-35 and Apache, so they display well together. The Lancaster has a 71cm wingspan at this scale.
The HMS Victory sailing battleship, with detailed masts, sails and deck features.
The Titanic and USS Missouri, large display models that suit a shelf or cabinet.
The Fujian and Shandong aircraft carriers, which fit the scale of a huge real ship into a display piece.
Piece count guide
Piece count is the easiest way to judge how big a project will be.

A bigger project for a few sessions. Includes the J-35, J-20, J-50, Panther G, Tiger I, Bradley, Abrams TUSK, C-47, HMS Victory, Iwo Jima and MV-22 Osprey.
