Best kits of 2011?


Recommended Posts

My vote goes to the Azur 1/72 Vickers Vildebeest Mk. III

This review has some nice close up shots of the sprues and various details: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=69795

I am so glad somebody finally did a 1/72 kit of this aircraft. A bit pricey (I paid $44USD for mine) but worth it in my opinion.

Even though the instructions were a little rough, this ended up being an awesome kit! The box was a little different, made of plastic instead of the usual cardboard, and included a carrying handle. Felt a little cheated, all of the parts had already been cut off the sprues, as indicated in the photo!!!

Revell's He111 does it for me in the 'sheer joy of its vast beauty' stakes.

The HobbyBoss Me262's in 1/48 (I see the six-gun version comes with X-4 air to air missiles) are quietly taking top of the pile, and at 60% of Tamiya prices :)

Am rather impressed by the Z-M Skyraider, too, very pretty...

Moeibus International Lonestar kit in 1/25 scale has revolutionalized how to make large Semi Trucks. I don't build vehicles as a rule but my dad does and has for 45 years. He saisd it is easily the best model of a truck he has ever seen (he has over 300 semi kits), so I believe him.

That being said I too vote for the Eduard 1/48 Mig series. They put Eduard firmly on the map as one of the worlds best kit producers.

I have that kit too. I haven't built it yet, but it does look very, very good.

Eduard's 1/48 MiG-21 (MF & SMT)

Its funny every time I read Tamiya P-51D I keep thinking of the 1/48 model and keep saying....model of the year, that things been out forever.

Sadly, I dont think I have bought any 2011 kits.........this thread is going to make me check out the Eduard MIG though.
