Tamiya's LVTP-7A1 amphibious vehicle, It is very slab sided and goes together in no time. There is little detail in the kit, most must be added by the modeler. Plus I painted mine in Marines Desert Sand (or whatever they call that USMC Gulf War tan color) making weathering a much quicker step than a tank in the mud or dirt.

Easiest - Tamiya's M4A3...shake the box and it's built.
Worst - Italeri's CMP....shake the box and maybe jumping up and down on it may have helped.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert

The easiest build was Tamiya's Panzer III (the new one). It went together in one night.

The worst builds were the DML Stug IV and their Brummbar (it's still uncomplete)
I've had more aggravation with these two kits than I had while building a Syrian BMP-1 out of the Esci kit.

well, there are alot of easy kits out there. but when u finish them they will look like crap. no detail at all. a good ali-aroud kit is the tamiya t34/76. it took me 3 nights to build and it looks great. it is also a good first kit to use brass parts on.Clown [:o)]
