Kitbashing or model bashing is a practice whereby a new scale model is created by taking pieces out of commercial kits. These pieces may be added to a custom project or to another kit. For professional modelmakers, kitbashing is popular to create concept models for detailing movie special effects. Commercial model kits are a ready source of "detailing", providing any amounts of identical, mass-produced components that can be used to add fine detail to an existing model.

- Kitbashing or model bashing is a practice whereby a new scale model is created by taking pieces out of commercial kits. These pieces may be added to a custom project or to another kit. For professional modelmakers, kitbashing is popular to create concept models for detailing movie special effects. Commercial model kits are a ready source of "detailing", providing any amounts of identical, mass-produced components that can be used to add fine detail to an existing model. Professionals often kitbash to build prototype parts which are then recreated with lightweight materials. For the hobbyist, kitbashing saves time that would be spent scratch building an entire model. Hobbyists may kitbash to create a model of a subject (real or imaginary) for which there isn't a commercial kit. Although it has a long history, kitbashing came to the attention of a wider public via the fine modelwork with the Thunderbirds TV series (1965), and movie ' (1968) and (especially) Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977). Many of the spaceship models created for these programs incorporated details from tank, speedboat and car kits. Sometimes source kits are selected primarily due to kit quality, and sometimes because a kit closely resembles the desired model result. Kitbashing is common in sci-fi modeling. It is not uncommon for parts to be cut and filed into shapes leaving gaps that are later filled with putty. Although a model with putty often looks unprofessional at an early stage, careful painting can completely hide defects. Textural details known as greebles may be added to enhance a model. A popular venue for kitbashing is diecast emergency vehicles such as fire apparatuses. Kitbashers frequently utilize models from manufacturers such as Code 3 and Corgi. The kitbash in such cases can be as simple as painting or redecaling a model, or as complex as tearing the model down and adding scratch-built components, followed by custom decals. The popularity of ready-to-run, pre-assembled models, even coupled with the increased availability of many unique prototypes using resin castings, seems not to have seriously impacted the art of kitbashing. In model rocketry, kitbashing refers simply to using the pieces from a one kit to build a different model. This is typically used to create unusual and/or especially complex models.
- キットバッシング または モデルバッシングとは、市販のキットの部品をオリジナルのモデルや他のキットに組み込んで、新たなモデルを作る手法である。 プロの模型製作者は、撮影用のモデルにディテールを加えるのにキットバッシングを用いる。市販のプラモデルからは、良好なディテールを持つ均質なパーツを大量に得ることができる。 趣味の模型製作者は、キットバッシングにより完全なスクラッチビルドよりも製作時間を節約することができる。実在・架空を問わず、市販のキットのないモデルを作る際にキットバッシングが使用される。 キットバッシングは長い歴史を持つが、サンダーバードのテレビシリーズ(1965)や映画2001年宇宙の旅(1968)、そして特にスターウォーズ・エピソードⅣ(1977)で使用された精巧な模型の製作に用いられたことで、多くの人の注目を集めた。これらの作品で使用された宇宙船の模型の多くは戦車や船、自動車などのキットの部品でディテールアップされていた。 素材となるキットは、キットの品質で選ばれる場合もあるし、必要とする形に似ているものが選ばれる場合もある。 部品を切断して使用したり、隙間をパテで埋めたりすることも少なくない。 撮影用モデルの製作の際にキットバッシングの「被害」に遭うのは日本製プラモデルのことが多いが、日本のプラモデルの分野ではキットバッシングという言葉は殆ど使われておらず、複数のキット部品を用いて組み立てる事は、部品の流用（部品取り）やニコイチ（二個一）、ミキシングビルドなどと呼ばれることが多い。鉄道模型の分野では、日本でも他のキットや完成品モデルの部品を用いて改造することをキットバッシングと称している。またドールハウスの分野などでは、キットをそのまま組み立てずに改造を加えることをキットバッシングという場合もある。
