Pup7309 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Can anyone recommend a jet aircraft in 1/48 from 1945- 2020? Not my scene really but apparently you should try everything once except incest and May Pole dancing (according to one witty git.) I was thinking of Tamiyas 262 but could be from Cold War or maybe contemporary. Thanks much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 AMK MiG 31 or Tamiya's Tomcat, can't go wrong with either of them. Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also thinking of Sabre or Meteor Academy's F-86 is perfectly acceptable; I hear Hasegawa's is as good. There's a new one due fron Airfix as well.

Neo Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Ive just started the Kinetic SU-33, so far im really impressed Academy F-4 series is apparently really good too. but i have not tried it. academy ROKAF T-50B "Black Eagles" was an impressive kit built it a while back really enjoyed it OOB Hasegawa F-104 (super fun build) and now the kinetic F-104 (apparently even better) Edited January 5, 2021 by Neo Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenshb Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Tamiya's F-14 kit is sublime. Tamiya's F-16 is not bad either, but the Tomcat is better. Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerwomble Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) I did the Revell / Hasegawa Phantom FGR2 last year which was a straightforward and resonably detailed kit if you like RAF jets of course. It's also quite affordable for the quality . BTW - You are missing out on the Maypole Dancing ...have you not seen the Wicker Man ?

LSP_K2 Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I've long considered the Tamiya MiG-15 to be an excellent kit, with plenty of AM available, and intend to chase down the kit (again) myself. Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadBaron Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I just got ahold of a GWH F15C and wow. This kit is WELL out of my wheel house, being a brand new kit of a modern subject. Sofar, the kit has more parts in the cockpit alone, than the entire 1/32 HE-100 I just finished It IS an expensive kit, but by golly does it look like good value for money!

Oldbaldguy Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Awful lot of stuff out there that fits your post’s parameters. Might want to refine your limits a bit. Are you looking to build a 1/48 jet just to check a square or for some other reason? Pup7309 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pup7309 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 Thanks I’ve been googling away at the various kits. Post WW2 modelling- a whole world opening up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
