Woodstock, GA — Mirage Hobby continues to bring uniquely focused subjects to the scale modeling market in 2026, with a growing presence in the June 2026 distribution cycle. Known for its dedication to lesser-produced historical vehicles and ships, Mirage Hobby maintains a specialized catalog centered on 1/35 scale military subjects and 1/350 scale naval kits.
With a steady release strategy rather than large-volume launches, Mirage Hobby remains a strong choice for modelers seeking distinctive subjects and historically relevant builds that are often overlooked by larger manufacturers.
June 2026 Release Cycle (Current Availability)
Mirage Hobby’s current availability reflects a range of kits released in recent months that are now reaching broader distribution. These kits highlight the brand’s dual focus on land vehicles and naval subjects.
1/35 Scale Military Kits
Mirage Hobby continues to produce compact armored vehicles, reconnaissance vehicles, and artillery systems, often centered on early WWII and interwar designs.
Key Characteristics:
- Focus on light tanks, tankettes, and armored cars
- Detailed but manageable builds suitable for intermediate modelers
- Subjects from Polish, European, and lesser-known WWII forces
- Ideal for smaller dioramas or historically specific scenes
These kits are particularly appealing for modelers interested in early-war conflicts and unique national equipment, including Polish and Eastern European forces that are not widely represented elsewhere.
1/350 Scale Naval Models
In addition to ground subjects, Mirage Hobby has built a strong niche with its 1/350 scale naval kits, focusing on smaller vessels and support ships.
Key Features:
- Detailed representations of torpedo boats, patrol craft, and auxiliary vessels
- Clean molding with fine deck and superstructure detail
- Compact builds that allow for display flexibility or fleet dioramas
- Subjects spanning WWII-era naval operations, particularly European theaters
These kits provide an excellent alternative to large capital ship models, giving hobbyists the ability to build complete naval scenes or flotillas without the space requirements of larger vessels.
Focus on Unique and Underserved Subjects
Mirage Hobby has carved out its place in the market by consistently focusing on:
- Early WWII and interwar vehicles
- Smaller, often overlooked armored and support units
- Coastal and light naval vessels in 1/350 scale
This approach allows modelers to explore less common historical themes, making Mirage Hobby kits ideal for those looking to go beyond mainstream subjects.

Looking ahead, Mirage Hobby is expected to continue expanding within its established focus areas.
