I'll build Tamiya 1/16 RC Tiger. It's probably the most expensive kit...at least for my knowledge.

any combination of scales of the A-10. Thats the baddest plane ever produced!

If I could only have one KIT and not all the different variants in different kit form it would have to be the Eduard P-39. All the parts you need are in the box to build everything from a P-400 to a P-39Q.

Only one kit!!
Well if I must. I would have to go for the Lancaster and all it's variants. Back date to a Manchester the foreward to a Dambuster, then a Tallboy and Grandslam variants. For a second helping a Bristol engined model. For desert a Lancastrian and a York. Now I will push the envelope with variations....The Lincoln, long and shortnosed modelsand as a finale the Shackeltons. These last two are still variations and enlargements of the basic Roy Chadwick design.

For me it would be the Revell P-40 since I really like P-40s.

I'd probably go with Academy's 1/32nd F/A-18.
That kit has enough pieces to keep a guy busy enough...and enough ordnance to where you could build an entire squadron of Hornets without any 2 looking exactly alike.

It was a question of passion, and I think we are all expressing ours quite clearly. I didn't say that you would have to be alone. It was only a hypothetical inquiry to find out what kits or planes people really love, without asking the tired, old question, "what's your favorite kit ?" That question lacks imagination, and I think that we, as creative people, can always find a different way of asking or answering questions. Modelkid, you can have as much of whatever you want, but only one kit. Which will it be ?

Airfix 1/24 Harrier. I could reverse engineer it into a p1127 or convert it to the VAAC Harrier.
If there was only one kit EVER, it would have to be a 1/24 Thunderbird 2. At over 10 feet long, imagine the superdetailing possibilities!

I am torn between Revell's 1/32 scale cobra and like cobrahistorian with Cobra Company's cockpit set ( Lots of real nice nose work) and Mongram's B58 Hustler
wit henough materials to do the planned varients and DO's and bomb/Nav cockpits.

I would have to go with the Hasegawa 1/72 scale series of F-14's. As a 72nd scale fan these are the best and I am a huge fan of the Tomcat.

wow... I'm tempted to say the Trimaster FW-190D series kits, any of em. BUT, since I've got 21 DML and Trimaster FW-190s just sitting in my parents' basement waiting for the day that I have my own permanent place to display them, I think I'm gonna beg off the 190s for a while.

In that case? Cobras.... lots and lots of Revell 1/32nd scale Cobras. WITH Cobra Company cockpit sets of course! You did say we could have aftermarket stuff, right?

I'd want a Skyraider with all the bells and whistles in 1/32. That would keep me busy just about forever. ;)

Hey, Oggy ! What if it's the iceberg on which you're stranded ? Are you ready to rub noses with the Eskimos ? (is Eskimo politically correct ? )

Hasegawa's 1/48 Phantoms.
with 5037 built plus the mitsubishi's I would be occupied for just a little while,
but the time would be split between that and frolicking with the native girls on that sunny island !

I'd build a fleet of Hasegawa F-14's. Great kit, and at least I would be kept busy for a few years.
