We need to have Dave post this as a stickey!!!
I'll jump in before all my fellow members do to say any of the newer (and a few of the older) Tamiya kits seem to be the favorite for a beginners model with most. I like the newer Dragon, but you've got to contend with individual link tracks, AFV Club has some nice stuff, and the list goes on.
If you're looking for 1/35, the Tamiya Tigers and Panther G's are very popular. Many have mentioned the T-34, if you can find one, and the Sherman's are nice, too.
If you want to do 1/72, Revell-Germany and the new Dragon issues are fantastic.
Good luck
