Guillow Models & Balsa Aircraft Kits

Celebrate classic aeromodelling with our range of Guillow Models. From simple balsa gliders and rubber-powered free-flight kits to detailed scale aeroplanes for display, we’ve got a kit to suit every bench and budget.

Not sure where to start? Filter by wingspan and skill level. Beginner and intermediate sets feature laser-cut balsa, quality strip and sheet, vac-formed cowlings and canopies, tissue covering and hardware. Most kits fly with rubber power; you’ll just add glue, covering dope, and basic tools. Advanced builders can tackle larger WWII and civil subjects, and some experienced hobbyists even convert selected kits to light electric RC.

Top up your build with essentials and spares: tissue, props, rubber motors, wheels, lightweight adhesives and finishing supplies – all available here. Our large stocks mean popular subjects are ready to ship, and our knowledgeable, friendly team is on hand with advice if you need a nudge in the right direction.

Order today for fast UK delivery, including next day options, so you can be cutting balsa and shrinking tissue sooner. Explore Guillow at Wheelspin Models and enjoy timeless stick-and-tissue building done right.
