Studio scale kits - resin. Very expensive. About 1/24

1/72 fine molds

1/72 Bandai snap

1/48 fine molds

Various boxings of the MPC/AMT/ERTL kit. Think these are between 1/48 and 1/32. Maybe around 1/40?

I think M/A/E did a smaller one as well probably snap together around 1/72

There's a revell snap kit 1/72 as well I believe.

The Promodeller kit is also about 1/32-1/35 ish.

The smaller MPC/AMT/Ertl kit has raised panel lines, a molded in pit + pilot and is about 1/80ish.

The larger version is more like 1/42.

Revell's larger snap is 1/57 and the Pocket snap is 1/87.

At least that's what I've gathered over the years...

Revell also has an upcoming 1/32-ish kit coming.

Hasbro also has a 1/18 toy that can be worked pretty well into a modeling project.

BEST injection kits are going to be your Fine Molds 1/48 and 1/72. Bandai comes in close but the debate still rages. FM has better panel detailing and overall shape (nose is a little longer) but Bandai has more detail. You can check out some builds over @ Keeper of the Force.

Some argue that the FM kit is more like 1/74 and the Bandai kit is 1/79.

If you want to spend the big bucks on accuracy, the studio models are indeed close to 1/24 and are all resin goodness. There's a whole bunch of threads over @ The RPF.

I thought I'd put my crib-notes version in before you got here. :-)
