anj4de Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Tamiya F-14...then nothing for a while, then other Tamiya 48scale props, Corsair, Thunderbolt. The older Monogram jets I like a lot but the fit is mostly very bad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stalal Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I recently built a GWH Zundapp motorbike (kit : L3524) and really enjoyed it. Its beautifully detailed motorbike. It was a pleasure to put together although not without some challenges. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Smith Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 1/144 Otaki C-5 Galaxy as an adult. Reminded me of the one's I screwed up as a kid. 1/72 Testors C-130 Just went together really well 1/32 My Tamiya F-4 Phantoms were a lot of fun Trumpeter F-105D Had a tough time with my Trumpeter A-7E Corsair with the Zacto conversion. But I think it was due to life and expectations at the time. I'll try again with my D model. Revell P-51 was the bane of my existence. Yea, the new kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bikerider Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Hasegawa F-2A in 1/48.... near perfect fit of every part. Tamiya F-14 A Hasegawa F-4G in 1/48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I had a little difficulty with the intake, but otherwise would agree. A nice little kit. Parts breakdown closer to a Kinetic F-16 than a Hasegawa F-16. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The F-2 kit was designed and released years before the Kinetic kit. If anything, the Kinetic resembled the Tamiya kit, which resembled the Hasegawa F-2 kit. .

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. Well, the OP asked for opinions on what kit people got the most pleasure building. Not the best fitting, not the best detailed; the ones that they found most pleasurable. Obviously, some people have a lot of fun building the Hasegawa Scooters. Mine are: Tamiya P-47s, any and/or all Eduard 1/72 Hellcat Hasegawa 1/32 P-47 And after consideration, I'll add the Monogram P-47 Razorback as well. I've built a bunch of those and enjoyed every one.

picknpluck Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I really enjoyed building the Monogram OA-4M Skyhawk last year. I know there are more modern, "better" kits out there and I'm not a Monogram purist...but this one just tickled my fancy, I guess. It was straight forward, no major issues, and I was happy with the results. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peterburns Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 It's a rare day that I want to build a kit a second time, so when I do I know that it must be an enjoyable one. With that said, pretty much the only kits I can stand the idea of building again and again are.... No particular order 1. Airfix Buccaneer (1/48) 2. Monogram F-101 Voodoo (1/48) 3. Monogram AV-8A Harrier (1/48) 4. Revell Hawk (1/32) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
quark51 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 The kits I thought that was enjoyable to build are the Revell/Monogram big 1/48 bomber kits, B-17F and G, B-24D and J, B-29, B-58, and the gigantic B-1B which I have two, one in the gray and green camouflage and one in overall grey.
