Of all the aircraft kits produced in all scales which one would you elect to be the favorite in your collection. One aircraft only, Please
hmmm maybe Tamiya 1/48 bf 109 e4/7. A fun build.
Wow! This is a tough one. It’s kinda like asking someone which one of their kids is their favourite. I would have to say my Esoteric 1/72 scale Grumman AF-2W Guardian. It was my first ever vacform kit and the way it turned out really blew me away.
Testor’s SR-71C that I just completed a few days ago. Nothing else even close.

kyshu JSW1 Shinden 1946 toyko defence 1/72nd scale made by hasegawa
awesome build very clean and detailed
Only one!!!
I liked building my Hasegawa F6F-3 Hellcat most of all probably. I put the most effort into it of anything I’ve built, plus the Hellcat is probably my favourite aircraft. I also learnt alot of new techniques while I was building it.
Hmmmmmm that’s kind of hard just choosing one. But I think that my favorite out of all the ones that I have built would be my Hasegawa 1/48th Typhoon Mk.1b. Due to the ease of the build.

For me so far, I would have to say eduard’s P-39Q profil pak. It was just a little gem to build.
I’d say the Hasegawa 1/72 B-25 Mitchell. A close second would be any kit produced by Accurate Minitures.
It will be my Academy 1/32 F/A-18C, when it gets here from Hong Kong… And then around July it will be the Academy 1/32 F/A-18D that will be comming out in a few months!
Havnt built them yet, but once I do them as Australian birds, then they will sit proudly for all of Japan to see when they enter my house!
If you are asking as is my favourite now… I love my Australian F-4 Phantom. It is the Tamiya version in 1/72… I dont know why. But it just turned out to be a great looking model, and I dont know how I did it. But I managed to make it look like it had the hell kicked out of it, as was the look of the Aussie F-4’s…

For me it would have to be the Tamiya 1/48 P-47 because it looks great, has fantastic detail and goes together like a dream.
Dang, Darson you beat me to the draw, The Tamiya 1/48 P-47 is the one for me

I third the Tamiya P-47. Accurate, detailed, fun to build and looks great finished. I just finished one a while back and bought 2 more. I can see mayself building a squadron-worth in no time.
A simple question that requires a very complicated answer. I’m at a loss, I love em all.
I would also have to say hasegawa’s 1/48 hellcat. I put tons of work into it, learned a lot while doing it, and enjoyed every minute of it.

Every new kit I buy, is probably one of the best ever, in my opinion. Tha’ts the deal I made with my wife as the stocks are piling up further and further.
Tough though… I’ll use the criterium: what wil probably fit snuggly and what I’m very eager on starting to build. After much pondering, it turns out to be:
1/48 Revell Dassault Rafale
BSTRUMP It worries me that your remark that this question seems like choosing one of you kids, is so easily followed by the choice of a model.[;)] Best regards for the kids!
yeah i have the 1/48 rafale too, and it’s a very nice kit indeed. but i’d have to say my favorite kit is the trumpeter 1/32 su-27 (even though i haven’t bought it yet). big and imposing model of a sexy jet, what more can you ask for?
My favorite is the Revell 1:48 B-58 Hustler. Big, bad, beautiful and retired from service MUCH too early in it’s career!

well right now with it being fased out it is the f-14 tomcat and slowly being replaced by the f-18 all makes [:D][:D]
The Tamiya 1/32 scale F-4EJ Phantom is my absolute favorite model kit. That is until they release the Mig 23 Flogger in 1/32 scale! [HINT, HINT, HINT]
