                        Just about any Tamiya aircraft - especially 1/48 P-51, P-47, F4-U, anything by Accurate Miniatures - their cars included, The old Nitto armored fighting suits (I know, I know, they're fantasy/sci-fi models),
                        Hasegawa 1/48 P-51, Tamiya 1/16 King Tiger (I've built one!! What a beast!!)..............
                        Too many models....not enough time.........

                        Iv'e said it a few times, I'll say it again-Tamiya's Late model Tiger I. Loved the fit and the indy tracks set it off. Who knows which of my unbuilt kits might dethrone it. I believe the new Trumpeter Leopold must be quite an awesome spectacle-3 feet long!

                        My favorite has to be the Tamiya Tiger I made into M. Wittmans S04. I did the works on that one. Verlinden engine, Modelkasten tracks, every p/e set available, and the metal barrel. This was my fav because it was one of very few kits that I actually took my time on everything. Did all kinds of research on . To me she was a beaut , and very fun to do.

                        It is hard to pick a favorite, I guess I just have to ask if I could only build one more model as many time as I wanted to for the rest of my life, what would it be. Mine would probably be the Monogram B-17G. It was one of the first Dad and I built, and I have built several since. Just one of those few kits that are true classics.

                        I think my favorite is always the one just completed. But if I had to pin it down, I think it would be Tamiya's 88mm Flak36/37. What made it the favorite was all the work (and challenge) to make it right. Right behind it would be Tamiya's Marder III.

                        Two of my favorites: Fisher Model & Pattern's Jaguar D-type and Tamiya's Jaguar Mk. II



                        But I have to agree with Gip, it's usually whatever model I've just finished. Here's my most recent project, Polar Lights' Enterprise. It'll appear in the January '04 FSM as a Workbench Review subject



                        I guess I don't build too many models that aren't for the magazine!

                        So far have to be the tamiya m4a3 sherman I did not to far back, but the tamiya leapord a5 I picked up pretty cheap looks pretty good just glancing through the box. Can't wait to get started on it.

                        matthew, there you go showing that jag again making me wish I could get paint look that good.

                        Rareplanes 1/72 Vought F6U Pirate, without a doubt! I Scratch built landing gear, interior, and ejection seat. It was also my first kit to receive Future as a top coat! There are several other firsts for me on this kit, but mainly it made me open my eyes to vac.s.

                        I like the old Rat Fink Models of the sixties but my favorite would be the Gee Bee Racer. This incredible little airplane is very interesting and fun to build. If you see this little plane in person you would think if it did get off the ground you could'nt contol it. It looks completely out of control. Check it out.Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Favorite model I ever built? Toss up with a few subjects: the Glencoe 1/220 Oregon, a kitbashed 1/350 Sumner DD from the Tamiya Fletcher and the Blue water Navy Gearing and a band saw, the Monogram 1/48 B-58. There are others but these would certainly occupy the top of the list.Big Smile [:D]Approve [^]Big Smile [:D]

                        Thats a toughy, but when I think about kits I truly enjoyed building begining to end and couldn't complain about anything in them, my vote would have to be Italeri's 1/72 T-45 Goshawk. Well thought out and a breeze to put together. I think its one of the only kits of the American version of the Hawk going outside of a 1/48 Collectaire multimedia kit.

                        My T-45 met with an unfortunate end during a move and I've been waiting for it to be re issued ever since. Perhaps with the soon upon us retirement of the T-2 Buckeye, that T-45 will come back to the shelves.

                        My Rusty Wallace Miller Lite Taurus, hands down. After that it would be either the Nomad or Impala. They both turned out pretty nice, but had room for improvement.
                        that which doesn't make us irate or irritated, has probably been thrown against the wall.

                        I always say my next one's my favorite! Big Smile [:D] But I would have to say Tamiya's Bismarck, because it is one NICE kit, and it was the first model I ever won an award for. Wink [;)]

                        I'd have to say I had the most fun with the old 1/48 Monogram Corsair. With retractable landing gear & folding wings, molded in color, I considered it "no painting required" back then. It was kindof borderline "toy / model". I built another one a couple years ago as a nostalgia trip. This time with paint. It was still a blast.

                        Seeing as my models never turn out like I imagine they will when I buy them, my favourite kit would have to be the next one!

                        Being that I have only built three models; my fave thus far is the Revell-Monogram F4U-5N Corsair. She was my first. Has always been my favorite warbird and has such beautiful lines!

                        Over and out.

                        crownover, which Gee Bee do you build? Is it the 1/48 testors kit, or the 1/32 kit (sorry I can't remember the mfg.). The testors kit is fun but needs a lot of work to look good, the fit of the wing to fuselage could be much better. Also the lack of a cockpit in the testors kit is a drawback. If you build the 1/32 kit, let me know how you like it, my local shop has one in the bargain bin I have been thinking about picking up.

                        I would have to say the Monogram kit of the SEAQUEST. It was very easy to put together, 9 to 10 parts. Pretty simple to paint also. It was a good looking model until my wife decided to know it off the shelf. GRRRRR!!!!!

                        They finally came out with a BMW 320i. An old 78 was my first car...old man pants blue. It had a turbo...which with they way I drove at 16, I promptly blew out the engine. I had to give it up *sob sob* I detailed the model down the the dice in the mirror, the turbo muffler, the Dave Matthews sticker I had on the back window, and the tiny turbo word on the back. it is my piece de resitance (yeah, and if you speak french, sorry, I studied Chinese in HS)

                        later
