X-Scale makes 1/144 scale plastic model kits of civil airliners, with the whole range falling in the aircraft section. The kits cover passenger jets and turboprop regional aircraft, along with a small number of reconnaissance and maritime patrol types, so the collection suits modellers who like building a fleet of airliners in one scale.
The subjects in the range are mostly civil types. Among them are the DC-8 in its long-range narrow-body versions, the Boeing 737 delta-wing airliner, the Airbus A300, the Hawker Siddeley Trident (Hs 121) and the Lockheed L-188 Electra turboprop. Regional turboprops are well represented too, including the ATR 42 and ATR 72, with the ATR 72-600 in Wings Air markings and the ATR 42-300 in American Eagle livery. Designations are given as in the kit names, such as Atr-42-300, Airliner B737-2s3 and Hs-121 Trident 2e.
Military and maritime subjects are represented by the P-3c Orion anti-submarine and maritime surveillance aircraft and the EC-24 reconnaissance type. X-Scale kits are aimed at modellers who want straightforward assembly and recognisable airliner outlines in a compact scale, and the range is worth browsing if you are building a collection of classic and regional airliners.
