Hi,

If the price is part of the equation I would look at Zvezda.
The Zvezda T90 sits to high but that can be corrected.
Their T1 is a bit of a bummer since the turret needs some modification, have seen some heavy distortion and sink marks as well, my last copy was OK but better have a look at the plastic.

If quality goes before price look at MENG.

If you want a good balance, look at Trumpeter.

My favourit right now is the Revell 1/32 Fw 190 F8. It is a beauty of a kit!
Have 3 in the stash - all started :)
ROG have released a range of 1/35 kits that have recived good reviews as well.  

And by the way, I am not to worried about finnishing kits.
I have like 50 in varioes stages of completion right now, the oldest one started 15 years ago. From 1/72 to 1/24 and from Cars to Airliners.
If I am lucky I finnish 1 or 2 / Year and when I am done they go into the bin.
I am done, no need to waste space.
Then again I do not build for contest ore events, just for the fun of it :)

Best Regards and Good Luck
JT

Well, I'd figure most of the newer Tamiya kits would be good. And most of the Trumpeteer and Hobbyboss kits I've built (sadly not that many though) have been shake the box kits. The Dragon Royal Tiger I built a few years ago was a quick clean build - I think it was one of their smart kits. I tend to bog down on AFV Club kits and some of the more detailed Dragon ones (not complaining, I love their stuff). 

 

 

 

 

I'll definitely try a hobby boss kit. I just cracked open a zvezda t90 kit and it is daunting and find will tiny bitty pieces but as with most kits I start I look at it and say... I'm going to build you perfectly and stick with you till the end, let's see how I feel in a couple weeks lol!

 

Daunting,you ought to see the Meng T-90 I just started.

Did read some good stuff about the Zvezda kit,except for that it sits too high

Enjoy

Sounds cool! 

Oh by the way the last Hobbyboss tank I built was their T-26. It came with a bajillion tiny track links the size of a fly and two pins for each link to join them like a real tank. I just glued the whole thing together and slathered some 'mud' on to cover the mistakes. This kit I wouldn't recommend unless you have several bottles of pain-killers close at hand. Their bigger tanks shouldn't be an issue though.

For example the Trumpeter T-62 I'm working on now went together like silk, only issue is the fitting of about a half zillion ERA bricks on this version.

This probably won't help you, but I always try to push through my builds whether I'm really enjoying them or not...I think it's a slippery slope to having a closet full of half built kits I'll never touch again. And usually the "modeler's block" goes away after a while. However, I notice that a lot of modelers do leave kits for a while, so I don't know.

 

I try pushing through as much as I can but as soon as it becomes a chore as opposed to a challenge. This is a hobby not my job and how I chose to spend my spare time. I haven't been doing it too long but long enough were I know what I like and what I want.

it's not about quantity. It's about what I enjoy. 

From MY point of view, _{(everone's different)}

think of it as a great learning experience.         

You really should build for quality, not quantity - you'll run out of room soon enough without plowing through 'em.

I find most 1/35 armor fits into your time scale, but I'm kinda fast when I concentrate on 1 kit.
