themongoose Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Tamiya F-16 Academy AH-1Z Viper PCM FW190 my favorites to date for sure in that order. I have yet tobuild the 1 wingnut kit in my stash so maybe this year the pcm will get outed ;-) mpk and Pup7309 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 My favorites were the old Revell kits of the 1970s. Simple, but usually accurate, and a lot of fun which could finished in a couple of weeks instead of months.

petrov27 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 So far I would say the WNW Pfalz DIIIa - just a brilliant kit all the way and just looks great built up Pup7309, Gary Needham and mpk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncarina Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Every single Zoukei Mura kit I’ve built: AH-1J Skyraider, DO.335, TA-152H-0, Horten, KI-45. Each one a journey I DIDN’T want to end.

Dpgsbody55 Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Tamiya Spitfires. But haven't built the Corsairs, Mossie and Zero I still have in my stash. So that could change Hasegawa P-40M. Wish I could get a P-40N to add to my P-40 collection. Airfix Typhoon, car door type. Looking forward to doing their Hellcat. Trumpeter Mig 3. Easily the best Trumpy kit I've built so far. Nor so impressed with the others. Kitty Hawk's P-39 Airacobra. Great kit, but take your time and check fit all parts. HKM Meteor 4. Great kit if a little simple. Needs some aftermarket like Profimodeller's engine, but still a favourite build. ICM I-16. Just be careful of the wing construction. Most anticipated builds. The rest of the Tamiya kits in my stash. Wingnuts Junkers D1 and Fokker VII Airfix Hellcat, but I'm still looking for some decent decals. Zoukei Mura Dornier DO335 and Henschel HS-129. ICM Gladiator and Fiat CR-42 when I get it.

Pup7309 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) 16 hours ago, geedubelyer said: Hmmm,...good question. I'm a bit of a light weight compared to many on here so haven't really got a huge reservoir of builds to draw on. I guess you mean to build Pup7309? If so, the Tamiya Spitfire was a treat to build. That and their F-16 went together beautifully. Cheers. Yes to build and paint:) Although some might get pleasure just from opening the lid. That’s valid, no judgments here! I’ve got the Tamiya Spit (mk8) primed and ready to go, can’t wait. Also have the Zero lined up, heard the gimmicky bits are a pain, but the Zero is a personal fave.

Pup7309 Posted January 6, 2021 Author Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Such a variety of answers, very interesting. Some I’d never thought or heard of. Never considered a Trumpeter kit, but sounds like the Avenger is an exception to the rule. My Faves Tamiya / WNW. Im looking forward to a few Hasegawa kits from the naughies Ki 84/ Raiden etc( yes late to the party on these) and ICM Gladiator next Also Revell 1/32 Ju 87b Stuka I got for Christmas from Grandparents as a kid - First 1/32 kit, artwork and size really blew me away and had such fun building and painting it - so many raised rivets, so many memories.

Gazzas Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) This one... only because a ton of research and a little help from online friends enabled me to avoid one of the oft-used in-box schemes.

Archimedes Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 15 hours ago, mozart said: Wise words Dean, my Tamiya Spitfire IX has lain a quarter completed in its box for some years now, no real challenge in it. For me, I have bought the wunderkits from Tamiya, HK, Hasegawa and WNW but so far my favourite 1/32 aircraft is the one I am crawling along with: The Matchbox DH.82A Tiger Moth: it fits together, it’s surface detail is not egregious, I can add detail where I want : i.e. fix the inaccurate seat and redo the instrument panels for a start, add detail to the floats. And it is a cheap kit if I make a mess of it: I am learning to improve my rigging and trying out some new paint techniques without fear of trashing a £200.00 kit. though there my be less challenge in a Tamiya Spitfire Mk IX , for me, I want to know I am equal to it when I do build it. The old Revell Spitfire first for me then and learn from the fabulous build by Thierry... Kind regards, Paul mozart, mpk and Pup7309 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashotgun Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 i may be in the minority with the tamiya spit. I t was the first tamiya with the engine and magnets and I royally screwed it up still sitting on the shelf of doom the front needs a ton of putty to get the panel to close. The mustang tamiya was much better still had some issues with the front. tamiya f 16 was a blast to build could concentrate on paining and modifying it instead of fighting the engineering. I am not looking for a sows ear to whip into shape with my superior skills I am looking for a pastime which is pleasant. Even trumpeter makes a decent project. I think the trend to put in all the internal detail which screws you up if you don't want to build that way is to be condemned. Not all me 262 need to show the cannons in fact if you look at the builds we perversely build it with them closed with the engines covered up . I know if they offered them that way there would many complaining and building them with scratch built engines and cannon nose open Rick Griewski, Pup7309 and mpk 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Tamiya Corsair (even I couldn't mess it up) Trumpeter Swordfish (because of the subject matter). It may well be 'influenced' by the 1/48 Tamiya kit but I still enjoyed building it Revell Lynx Revell Hunter - In my opinion one of the best value and most underrated kits available Tamiya RA5C Vigilante (I have built this many times in my dreams) mpk and Pup7309 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
