and look awesome too! I second that opinion!

I'd have to agree with zokissima about the dragon wagon. It was fun to build and it was like opening a present. And i didn't have to worry about the cost because it was a gift.Cool [8D]

well, out of the 20 odd kits I have built

for 1/35 I would have to say my fav (so far) is academy's M10. i only had one fit problem (my fault) and the detail was awesome - not to mention the full interior........

for 1/72 I'll take hasegawa's crusader. its one of their best kits made. I like them (hasegawa) over revell, because I usually build 1/72 for the fun, quick, and easy builds. I find you can do that better with the hasegawa kits.........

One of my most fun builds has been the Academy M60, but one I'm dying to build (I have it, just don't have the time) is the Trumpeter SA-2 SAM missle on transporter with truck. It's supposed to be up to par with Tamiya kits in terms of quality, the price was great, the subject is interesting, the look is aggressive, man I should really get around to building it :)

I like my little humber mk2 scout car-cheap, and fun!

Is that the Matchbox one? because I loved that one too.

I'd have to say limiting it to the kits that I have actually built that based on all the criteria that Dragon's Stug III C/D was my favourite,

I am keen however to build my Academy M3 Honey as it looks the goods.

Tigerman Read my mind, my two faves are Tamiya's Tiger 1 late (2 months of fun) and The M4 Sherman. I'll also throw in Tamiya's M1A2 Abrams. They're some fun kits.

Representing the Braille Scale side of this hobby, I'd have to say the best 1/72 scale kits to build are Revell/Germany. These for cost, (more or less) ease of construction, and detail. Approve [^]

Fine Molds Imperial Japanese Army tanks. Very nice kits, some contain small PE frets for grills, some contain separate link tracks. Very fine detail and some even have interiors. Worth a check if you ever see one for a reasonable price.
