1:8 Scale Model Car Kits: Brick-Built Flagships
1:8 scale model car kits (often written 1/8 scale model car kits) are the largest and most detailed car builds in the Power Blockz range. At one-eighth of real size, a 4.5-meter supercar becomes a display model of roughly 55 cm, big enough for detailed engine bays, full interiors and, on many sets, remote control. This collection gathers around 200 brick-built 1/8 scale models to build from Guly, KBOX, TGL, Mould King, CaDa, Jiestar, Rastar and Eikee, all in ABS bricks compatible with the major building brick systems.
Hypercars, race cars and 4x4s in 1 8th scale
The format is dominated by supercar building kits: the SF90 XX Stradale Supercar Spider and the 2024 Hybrid V12 Hypercar by Guly, the Maserati MC20 by Rastar, the W16 Voiture Noire by Mould King and the Mercedes AMG GT Black Series by CaDa. Track fans get the M4 DTM – Black Edition, the 2023 Le Mans Prototype and widebody 911 racers from our racing car kits, while the Toyota Supra A80 2JZ flies the JDM flag. Off-roaders are covered too, from the Ken Block G6 Trophy Truck to the German 6x6 G63 Remote Control and the 8x8 Amphibious Expedition Vehicle in our off-road kits.
What to expect from a 1:8 scale build
- Difficulty — intermediate to expert; no easy kits at this size
- Build time — 5–10 h for the simplest sets, 10–18 h or 18h+ for most flagships
- Remote control — many sets, including the Maserati MC20 and Next-Gen Italian Bull 2024, are RC-ready
Short on shelf space? The 1:10 scale collection keeps the detail in a more compact footprint.
1/8 scale model car kits: bricks instead of glue
A 1/8 scale model car kit from Power Blockz is assembled from interlocking ABS bricks, so there is no glue, paint or sanding. You get the presence of a large 1:8 scale model car, often with working steering, suspension and an engine, without the modelling workshop. Want a different size? Compare the 1:10, 1:14 and 1:5 scale collections.

How big is a 1:8 scale model car kit once finished?
How big is a 1:8 scale model car kit once finished?
At 1:8 scale, every centimeter of the model stands for eight on the real car. A typical supercar of about 4.5 meters therefore becomes a model of roughly 55 cm long, which is why 1/8 scale kits such as the SF90 XX Stradale Supercar Spider or the Maserati MC20 are treated as centerpiece display models rather than shelf fillers.
Is a 1:8 scale building kit suitable for a first-time builder?
Is a 1:8 scale building kit suitable for a first-time builder?
It can be, if you pick carefully. Every kit at this scale is rated intermediate or above, so look for an intermediate set such as the Mercedes AMG GT Black Series by CaDa or the Off-Road Racing Buggy by TGL (5–10 hours). If you prefer a gentler start, the 1:14 scale kits include many easy 2–5 hour builds.

Look for the remote controlled tag on each product, or browse all remote control building kits.
How long does an 18h+ hypercar kit take in practice?
How long does an 18h+ hypercar kit take in practice?

Examples include the V12 812 Grand Tourer Supercar by Jiestar, the Track-Only V12 SV Hypercar by TGL and the Veneno Lambo Competizione Gunmetal by KBOX. Numbered bags keep each stage self-contained, so you can stop after any bag without losing your place in the instructions.
