Hobbycraft is a Canadian manufacturer and distributor of hobby and leisure products, including plastic model kits, supplies for radio-controlled models, and jigsaw puzzles. Founded in 1938, the company places a special emphasis on Canadian subjects.
Hobbycraft started to release plastic model kits in the late 1980's. Early model kits were made in Korea by Idea. Some were made exclusively for Hobbycraft, and the other were reissues of Idea's existing kits. Most of reissues were copies of kits from various foreign manufacturers, such as Hasegawa, Revell, Monogram, Tamiya, Ls, Takara and Nichimo.
