Berkut Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Tamiya 1/48th razorback P-47The Trumpeter 1/48th MiG-3 Those two. But instead of razorback i prefer bubble version. I don't have the P-47 in stash, and haven't build it, but i know it is fantastic kit, based on pictures and reviews. Have build Trump MiG-3 tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dekon70 Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 1/48 Bearcat(Academy kit, because they give the parts to build -1, -1B and -2) 1/48 Skyraider(Tamiya, though the Revell can be made into a nice model) S2F Tracker(Hasegawa), though only in 1/72(WE NEED A 1/48 kit of this) AF-2 Guardian(RVHP)WE ALSO NEED A 1/48 of this. AJ-2 Savage(MACH 2, what a turd) WE NEED A NEW 1/72 kit of this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne S Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I would think mine is the P-51, yet subconsciously it might actually be the C-130. Have built more Italeri c-130s then any other kit, but if I recall right I like the Airfix C-130E. None has made the -30J yet, if they did, that would most likely be my Favorite kit.

LanceB Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 None has made the -30J yet, if they did, that would most likely be my Favorite kit. C-130J? What is wrong with the Italeri J kits (in 1/72 and 1/48)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlicari Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I like Thunderbolts, which means I like Tamiya Thunderbolts! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
C-130CrewChief Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 C-130J? What is wrong with the Italeri J kits (in 1/72 and 1/48)? -30J is stretched I think... He's not talking about the C-130J...just a guess. For my favorite prop....You get one guess! The good old Herk. As far as kits go I think they all suck and require a herculean effort to make good for me. Pun intended. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caiotfjr Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Spitfires in quarter scale. Tamiya's mk I or V, although I also like an ocasional ICM merlin 60 series Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LanceB Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 -30J is stretched I think... He's not talking about the C-130J...just a guess. Ah, OK, the C-130J-30. Got it! Two Italeri kits, then. I seem to recall that the 1/72 kit included instructions on how to do the bash using the fuselage from a second kit. Didn't look all that hard to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grant in West Oz Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Spitfires of course. In Gentleman's scale (1/72) Airfix and Italeri for Mk.V, Airfix for Mk.II, Italeri & Hasegawa for two speed/two stage and Fujimi for Griffins. Tho I'll entertain building any including the PM Mk.Vc. In 1/48 scale, Tamiya for Mk's. I/V, ICM for two speed/two stage and Airfix for Mk.22/24. As for the soon to be blessed by Tamiya 1/32 scale, Hasegawa/Revell for Mk's I/V, Pacific Coast for Mk.IX and Matchbox for the Mk.22/24. G Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Simeon Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 The Problem with the C-130J kit is the engine Nacelles look nothing like the real thing. The B-17 Old Revell, Hasegawa and Minicraft and Rareplanes Y1b-17 Minicraft B-24 Airfix old mold C-130 Italeri C 130 next. Monogram B-36 Hasegawa, P3 Orion and P2V Neptune.

Skyraider Maniac Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 no one would guess..... but I like Skyraiders ( :lol: ) - and my favorite kit is of course the Tamiya boxing of the H and J versions - though I specifically prefer the J! (I read the book The A-1 Skyraider: The Flying Dumptruck as a kid, and the A-1 has had a special place in my heart ever since....wish I still had the book ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don923 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 It's got to be the Hasegawa 1/72nd B-26B/C kit.I have built 3 of them. I've got the Hasegawa B-26F/G kit but have not built it up yet. I plan on doing "DeeFeater"for my B-26 historian buddy Alf with this kit. I think it's a 386BG or a 387Bg bird in natural metal finish with od on the upper surface. The old Airfix Marauder kit has "DeeFeater" decals I hope they are still usable. I wish Hasegawa would build the kit in 1/48 scale. At present I am completing the old ESCI Marauder 1/48 kit, but borrowed props off the monogram 1/48 kit in addition to kit blasting, and adding aftermarket PW-2800's made for the monogram/revell kits.

Frankhenrylee Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yeah, I wish Hasegawa would do more big kits. They do more 1/32 than most, but they have some nice 1/72 bombers that I would like to see in 1/48 or 1/32. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isaac Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Tamiya P-47s. Can't have enough of them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CorsairMan Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Its the Corsair And until Tamiya comes out with its all new tool, super deluxe, "master series" 1/32 or 1/24 F4U, then it will have to be the 1/48 Tamiya Corsairs.... ok - I like the 1/48 Hase ones too....just a notch below the tamiya ones.

Old Blind Dog Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Oh, so many! Do I really have to choose just one? Here are several of my "favorite-est" props and the kits I like best for each: F8F Bearcat; in 1/72 I like the Sword kits (but the old Monogram kit holds up very well even after 42 years!); in 1/32, the Trumpeter (in spite of all those !@#$%^ inaccurate rivets!) T-6 Texan; in 1/72 the Academy kit A6M Zero: in 1/72, Hasegawa, Tamiya for 1/48 and 1/32 MiG-3: in 1/72 HobbyBoss (most accurate exterior, shape and dimensions, lousy cockpit); I've built the ICM in 1/48 but have not been able to compare it to the Trumpeter; I have several copies of the 1/32 Trumpeter and it looks great F4F Wildcat: in 1/72 (no contest) Hasegawa; in 1/48 Tamiya I love Spitfires, but I'm no expert, so will leave a kit recommendation to someone who knows the subject better than I. cheers Old Blind Dog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
