What are the best fitting model aircraft you've built? Not the most detailed or most complicated wunderkit, but the ones that just had perfect (or nearly perfect) fit.

I really like the Hasegawa family of 1/48 scale F-104 Starfighters.  Amazing kits.

I've also built many 'newer' 1/48th scale Tamiya kits and haven't had to use filler on any of them.  Examples include the Me-262, Bristol Beaufighter, Dornier Pfeil and Corsair.

As mentioned, 1/48th scale Revell's F-15E Strike Eagle (85-5511) is a gem.

I also like Revell of Germany's 1/32nd scale FW-190, Me-109, Zero and Bubbletop P-47.  I think they're all re-issues of Hasegawa kits, if I'm not mistaken.

That's my take on the subject.

Retired and living the dream!

Tamiya has the best fit but a limited number of choices when it comes to kits.(aircraft wise).
