JohnnyK How about the older Revell and Monogram kits? If you like building 1/48 scale planes, those two brands have some unique kits.

Their old classiic car kits are also great buys at flea markets. These kits were excellent kits with good fits, fairly good detail, and well executed design.

stikpusher Lonwuff Which is better if there is a difference, Revell or Revell Germany? There is no more difference nowadays. Revell USA is no more. Revell Germany is the survivor. They shared many molds over the past couple of decades.

To further muddy the waters, both Revell and RoG have repopped kits from older companies like Matchbox and Frog, among others. You still need to do your research, it may be a new tool kit or it may be a rebox of an ageing kit from decades ago.

Oh absolutely they are. This is where the internet is such a help. A site you should get familiar with is scalemates. That site is an encyclopedia of kits, their history and often has linked reviews.
In my own case, I build subjects, so I see all kinds of kits, from garbage to exquisite.
Its the joy of the hunt for me. I want a Mig 19s? Well, there are a few, the one closest to what I want is a Bilek kit. Lots of flash, soft details, garbage cleary parts. But it's fun to beat it into submission and at the end, a bad a ss Farmer.
Hasegawa makes/ made a lot of really nice kits. Revell, Monogram, Airfix, Heller. They all have good kits and bad kits, so do your research. There's a lot out there.

Hi modelers, I've been building Tamiya brand kits and one Trumpeter. I've noticed some brands that have been around forever are coming up with some good looking armor and airplane models (at least on box art). I consider myself good enough to do intermediate to expert kits or somewhere between the two. To make a long story short (oops too late) I was wondering if the brands besides the two mentioned above are worth looking into and what have been good experiences.
