airmechaja Posted May 25, 2018 Author Share Posted May 25, 2018 I suspected the Tamiya F-14 would lead the way. Haven't built mine yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper730 Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Tamiya F-14 Tamiya 1/32 Corsair Tamiya...insert just about any kit name here produced from 1991 on they really make them easy to build and for someone with barely above average skills I totally appreciate it....

Helmsman Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 (edited) I'm not sure what goes for "building" process though. For me it would be: AMK 1/48 MiG-31 BM/BSM Kinetic 1/48 Su-33 AMK 1/48 Kfir Academy 1/32 F-16I Sufa Edited May 26, 2018 by Helmsman Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonbryon Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Recently I would say AMK 1/48 MiG-31, Eduard MiG-21 family and Kitty Hawk AH-1Z. From the more distant past, Hasegawa's 1/48 F-104s stand out. I've never understood the Hasegawa 1/48 A-4 family falling into this category. I've built 5 (with another 4 scheduled for next year) and never found the inserts to fit at all well, and getting neat joins around them to be a complete pain.

skyhawk174 Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Well mine would be - Surprise surprise 1. Tamiya 1/48th P-47M Thunderbolt 2. Tamiya 1/48th Mosquito 3. Tamiya 1/48th Do-335 And now I am just finishing the new Tamiya 1/48th Ki-61 Hien. The fit is incredible and the mistakes in the build were all my fault. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 1. Tamiya F-14A 2. Eduard Spitfire Shake and bake, no filler and no fuss! Fantastic kits. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Dude Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Built recently? That would have to be: 1/48 GWH Su-35s 1/48 AMK Mig-31 1/32 tamiya corsair (X5) Built overall would be: See list above 1/32 Tamiya-f-16's (X4) about half of the 1/32 German Wingnut wings kits 1/32 tamiya p-51d's (X3) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caudleryan Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 Revell 1/48 F-86D Great Wall Hobby 1/48 F-15C. Currently building this one at the moment. Fit is absolutely wonderful! And for the car fans out there, I would highly recommend the Aoshima McLaren f1 GTR long tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Andrew Maverick Taylor Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Tamiya 1/48 F4U Corsair Hasegawa 1/48 P-40N Warhawk Hasegawa 1/48 F-4G Phantom I can see a pattern beginning to emerge here!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I concur with almost all of these. I agree with Jonbryon about the Hasegawa A-4 series. The fit is good, but not to the level of the others listed here. One that I haven't seen is the Monogram F9F-5 Panther. I've built it a number of times and have used putty very sparingly.

The Monogram Panther is on my list to build. Many claim it is a great build...........unlike the Trumpeter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Tamiya He-162 - one of the best jet kits I’ve ever built I liked the Monogram F9F, too. The Academy F-4B was complicated but was fun to build. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
