Formula 1 Model kits

Without more criteria for "best" it is hard to say.  The resin kits are very nice but some aree only for experienced modelers.  Some are not very complete, and require you to scratch build some of the parts, like some of the suspension parts and linkages.  Also, are you interested only in contemporary cars or do you like vintage racing cars too?

I have a Ferarri f310b from tamiya that I am starting on...

For a normal builder that has experience Tamiya's kits are very good.  Hasegawa makes pretty good ones too.  As far as the scale, that's really a preference. The bigger it is the more detail you can cram into it.  Revell Germany makes some but they are not nearly on the level Tamiya is.  

If you are an extremely experienced builder then you probably would be best of with Model Factory Hiro kits.  

Agree with Cody. Add to that, if money is not an option, that the new range of 12th MFH kits are apparently stunners. But, multi-media kits really do need experience to make them turn into something other than an expensive heap of frustration.

But all depends on what your interest is... There's several awesome Tamiya 20th kits out there and they can be supplemented with aftermarket bits galore into absolutely supreme kits. And a clean-built 20th Tamiya will always be good-looking. Heard some of the Fujimi's had tyre issues, but surely not all... and maybe it's just inaccuracies that nobody else than an absolute expert with extreme measuring tools will pick up. If you're new to F1 modelling, I'd go for a Tamiya or Fujimi just to gain familiarity with the build sequence, wings, etc.

price is not an object.

Hey Seabe, do you know anything about Hasegawa kits?  They made a number but I'm not sure about quality.

Cody, sorry but no first-hand experience. I have heard that it is makes an awesome model and with the people comparing the Lotus 79's of the two companies, many actually preferred the Hasegawa. But sounds like you can't go wrong either way.

Which car do you actually want to build or are you simply looking for a nice kit to get started on? In which case my first advise will always be - pick something you are interested in, which will carry you through the demotivated patches on a new subject... and pick something with a simpler colour scheme. And don't be afraid to ask!
