ron Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Winter is slowly setting in and it might be time for a long term project. I am pretty much 100% a prop guy right now but keep looking at those nice 1/32 Tamiya Jet kits (F-14, F-16, F-15 etc). Question, which one would I enjoy building the most if I am not partial to a particular plane? (I like them all) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ron Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Oh yeah, F-4 also? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 1/32 F-16CJ, definitely the best choice. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bandwagon 106 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 My choice would be The F-16, followed by the f-4 and F-15 together, and the tomcat last. The F-16 is incredible, a very nice kit Joel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 (edited) Tamiya 1/32 F-14A 'Black Knights' 'Nuff said F-16CJ is also nice.... Edited October 7, 2006 by AnthonyWan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 The F-16 kits would be first on my list as they need almost nothing beyond what comes in the box. The F-14 kits would be last because of the decal cockpit and mixed raised/recessed panel line fuselage. F-15s over the F-4s because of the nasty step inside the Phantom's intake.

devil505 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I really liked the '16 followed by the '15s and then the '4 and '14 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Given the choice.....even being a mostly Navy builder....thinking model kit not real airplane. 1. F-16 2. F-4 3. F-15 4. F-14. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Mullen Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Agree with the F-16, from what I have seen on here and other sites it would seem to be the most easiest to build OOB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moeggo Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Hi Ron, I like you, being 100% prop guy! I have gone and brought the F-4J and F-14A for something different to do. And I must say WOW both of them are great looking kits! I would say a must for anyone! I also got the Trumpeter A-10, apart for the cockpit the kit is great also too!

Aggressor Supporter Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 If you're not partial to any particular plane, then I would recommend the F-16CJ too. It has features that I don't think the others have and looks stunning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devil505 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 (edited) If you get to bored with these give the Hasegawa and Academy 1/32 jets a look too. Edited October 8, 2006 by devil505 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jay Chladek Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I concur with everyone else. The F-16CJ will get you a nice OOB build if you so desire. To me, the Academy F-18C/D Hornet kits would also rank a close second if you were willing to expand your list past just Tamiya (It is always nice to have a little competition and I think Academy's Hornet effort got Tamiya off the stick to make their F-16 something special). The advantage of these two airframes also is that the planes are relatively small compared with monsters like the F-14, F-15 and F-4. Granted they are still bigger then a typical WW2 fighter model in 1/32, but at least they aren't rediculously huge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ron Posted October 9, 2006 Author Share Posted October 9, 2006 I've been away the last two days. I think I'll have a look at the F-16 and F-15 then make up my mind. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rick_Q Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 F16CJ all the way, best kit ever, had a blast building mine www.freewebs.com/qsscaleshop/ rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
copey Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 The F-15 is a good kit ,I your thinking about the F -16 Academys is just as good and half the price,And more weapons options Quote Link to post Share on other sites
