Model building starts with a kit. What it becomes is in the hands of the model builder.
InsightScale focuses on what makes demanding model building: design, mechanics, materials, manufacturing, engineering and the details that turn a good model into an exceptional project.
We take a closer look. At new developments and proven engineering. At kits, components and tools. At conversions, restorations and our own projects. And at the vehicles and machines behind the models – their engineering, their history and what gives them their character.
It is not about presenting as many new releases as possible. It is about truly understanding things, sharing experience and finding out what works – and what does not.
InsightScale is model building from practice. For everyone who builds, tries, improves and is not satisfied with the standard.

Long awaited – here is the continuation of our build report for the Aeronaut Comtesse! After the hull has already been completed, we are now taking you through the next construction phases. In this part, we report on the further work steps, the
We also could not resist and built a Ford F-150 based on the TRX-4. Now, some might say that this is available to buy… Correct, but we wanted something different. The Ford F-150 from Traxxas is a so-called High-Trail model with a long
A three-cylinder radial engine for the highest demands Despite the rapid development of electric motors, which are increasingly becoming powerful counterparts, internal combustion engines that closely resemble their full-scale inspirations in sound continue to hold an overwhelming fascination for model enthusiasts. This is
Which techniques and products can be used to achieve a perfect result in model building? We at ScaleMonkey consistently find that more and more questions are arising in this area. The global market and new media such as social networks, forums, and model-building
For a long time, we had been considering the idea of building a precious wood boat. Recently, my wife became enthusiastic about an Italian sports boat while on holiday. Since the original Pedrazzini Vivale Veloce is slightly beyond our budget, we decided to
Anyone who enjoys spending many hours on model building will quickly realise how important high-quality tools can be. For getting started and for minor repairs, inexpensive or older tools may be sufficient, but anyone who truly loves their hobby will sooner or later
At InsightScale, we do not test and drive from a distance. We build, wrench, drive and try out what works in practice – from current developments to proven classics.
We share experience you will not get from datasheets, show technical solutions and take a close look at products, kits and components. It is not about the next quick review, but about what really matters for demanding model building: function, quality, design and the experience at the workbench and on the track.
InsightScale is made for model builders who get hands-on, question things and want to take their model one step further.
