For me it was an MPC X-wing I attempted to build years ago.The two fuselage halves simply didn’t fit.The lower half was just too wide.By no stretch of the imagination or modelling skills would these pieces fit.After 13 or 14 years I finally tossed it in the can.I salvaged a few pieces for the bits box and junked the rest.It was a little busted up so I must have pounded on one or twice in frustration.You guys got any nightmare models like this?

The Trumpeter T-55 1958 model, I will say not more.
Trumpeter A-10A …
Airfix Grumman Duck …
Oh yeah the Pegasus resin Fairey Fulmar…
ICM Buzz Beurling Spitfire. A total piece of S**t
Revell 1/570(?) Titanic, Accurate Miniatures SBD-3 Dauntless (my fault that time)…
Deciding to scratch build this interior on the 1/25th Tamiya Tiger…Phew!!!
Academy 1/48 Hawker Hunter F.6.
And the FGA.9 [:(]
The Hobbycraft SU-27. The upper and lower fuselage halves would not fit, but it fit perfectly in the trash can.
[banghead]…Hasegawa’s 48th P-38 H…and from other frustrated sources, that specific series in its entirety…
if not for this 48th A-4E/F i’m involved in, my perspective of Hasegawa’s “1/4” line would have remained, sickingly tainted…
testors/italeri B-2, totally warped!
Revell 1/72 B-17 to much sanding and putty, only got it since is was ten dollers.
SKIF BMP-3. Terrible fit, terrible engineering, terrible details, terrible instructions.
On the plus side, the basic shapes are right (once you get it all to fit), and turns into a very nice kit with a WHOLE LOTTA TLC!!
Here’s my finished model, as it appeared in Armour Modelling magazine:
That was two solid weeks of parts clean-up and repair, followed by a month and a half of putty, sandpaper, and scratchbuilding. I’m happy it made the mag, though! [:)]
Minicraft 1/48 V-tail Bonanza
Testors 1/48 02A Skymaster
Revell of Germany 1/72 P-2 Neptune
Special Hobby 1/48 XF-85 Goblin
I still have them all and may some day work them till they are right when I become a modeling genius!! LOL
Revell Monogram 1/48 USNavy Swift Patrol Boat!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGH!!! spazzing out and bubbling at the mouth
NOTHING fits correctly w/o clean up.
don’t say anymore! I know it’s a re-issue but comm’on!!!
The Black Box cockpit set for the F-105D. The cockpit tub went in just fine but the instrument cowling would not set properly on the instrument panel and kept the windscreen from aligning and laying down. (I love the detail of the Black Box sets but they never even gave instructions on what areas needed to be trimmed, cut and in some areas, specifically where to place certain parts.)[|(][tdn]
The Hobbycrap 1/72 “International MiG” MiG 15. NOTHING lined up where it was supposed too. And I was doing it for a GB.
Oh my gosh I have a bunch of these! The Horror!
Since I’m not very good at this yet, I rarely buy anything over $15. Because of this, I’m always buying the cheapest, oldest, worst kits around.
Among the worst are testors biplanes, the revell gannett, and any of airfix’s old stuff.
By far the worst kit i ever built was the old airfix b29, i mean what a piece of crap i had started to build it and stopped for a couple of years,then one day i restarted it gave up and it flew straight into the bin [banghead] i likeairfix kits but when you build the old ones you relise how spoilt we are today
