Your easiest ,most well fitting model you have completed.

Tamiya Tomcat,F-16,and P-38 take your pick,all just beautifully engineered.

Honorable mention GWH Mig-29

Meng T-90

Tamiya 1/48 P-38 f,g,h,

Tamiya 1/48 F-14A and Tamiya 1/32 F-16CJ.  I'd add their 1/48 F-4B to the list, but its not quite completed yet.  Heh...I think I'm noticing a trend so far in this thread.  

Revell 1/32 Hawker Hunter. That kit is a dream to assemble!

Heh...I think I'm noticing a trend so far in this thread.

I was thinking the same.

.....then Stik went and screwed it all up!

I am sure there were others in the past, but off the top of my head Tamiya's M40, Takom's Leopard C2 Mexas, and DML's Ersatz M10.

The M40 had some challenging parts with the dozer blade's winch and crew platform's chain, but overall not too difficult right out of the box.  

Most recently it is a little fishing boat by Zveszda.  I bought it without even looking at the brand- it was a real impulse thing.  Went together perfectly.  It is done except for a base- will post pic in Ships when I get it on the base.  It os about four inches long.

Without a doubt it would have to be the 1/16 Tamiya Kubelwagen kit.

how about kits that were problem free?

That's easy. It's the model that I didn't build. 

I have yet to build a problem free model. I tend to build clunkers but even some I expected to be better quality, yeah, still problems. 

Great the guys may have identified one.

Most Tamiya armor kits go together well .

Tamiya 1/48 P-47D Bubbletop or their P-51D Mustang.  And I'll add the Revell 1/25 Bronco.

Pretty much everything from Tamiya, Revell 1:72 B-17 and Lancaster, now the Academy 1:72 F-4 and 1:44 B1B. Enjoyable kits.

One kit was so dismal, even though it's outside of the posted question, the Academy 1:72 B-29. Kit warpage so severe, some parts were distorted beyond the ability to be corrected.   

No mentionof Bandai? They make some great stuff. Their engineering is fantastic, with multicolor parts on the same sprue and excellent design and fit. Unfortunately they have limited subject matter, Gundam and anime subjects, but they are the best in those realms. Every modeler I know would snap anything they would make if they ventured into any other subjects!

Athearn box cars.

I must have built 100 of them.

Fine Mold's TIE fighter.  Super simple kit, low parts count, excellent engineering.  The only kit in my adult life that I finished inside a week.

Bandai's teeny Mecha Collection Star Destroyer and Blockade Runner, for the same reasons as the TIE.  But the Blockade Runner had stickers for the red oxide areas on the hull, so I went aftermarket to source waterslide decals.  They exceeded my expectations, like the kit.

I would say the Moebius Jonny Quest Dragonfly. Low part count enerything was perfect

until the engine inlet. Boy the fit of that was bad.

Other than that, no putty, just a swipe of a sanding stick. Prime, a bit of preshading and paint. I think I was done in 4 days. 

Pics?

Yes sir they run well too!  

Hi !

       Believe it or not, the Little Robot kit I asked about just a while ago. It's by a company called TAKARA!, Now this little guy at 1/12 has two poses, Alarmed or at Ease! By doing a wee bit of modification on the regular kit parts, He now can be positioned in either pose or in between with ease! 

       His Vinyl tracks have posed a small problem. I may try to use tracks from something else that looks close. But, overall he is like a Tamiya "Shake and Build" Kit! Then, I will see what I can do about the lower arm parts. You get two sets. I think I am going to use some brass and copy the molded parts and replace them with the Brass. That way he will be fully poseable.

        I know he was molded this way. Little hands can't do things like we older more experienced folks can. So two fixed poses. I actually find myself grinning with this little model. First time I've done that in a while.

Hi Kenjitak!

        I haven't built anything Bandai, seriousley, in about twenty years. Why? well the only thing they had years ago that I could brag on were their 1/48 scale Armor kits. They went together well and looked great when done! I am not into the Gundam they offer now. If they would do Machinen-Kreiger in 1/35 or 1/48 I might try them again. Their molding was superb!

Pics?

 

Here they are.

I looked for some inprogress photos, but it went together so fast I dont have any.

Nice job!

Hi!

             Have You noticed? There is a resemblance in the cockpit area to Disney's Moonliner in the original Park? Look at the fuselage real well. Mentally remove the large appendages (Wings?) and go from there. Nice job on it though!

For me it's Revell's majestic old 1/32 P-51B Mustang. Having built at least one in all but 1 of my 6+ decades, it's certainly a nostalgic choice. But the very first one...built with no 'advanced' modeling skills to speak of, with little more than Testors orange-tube glue, brush paints, and a nail clipper as supplies...still came out looking amazing. Great detail (for it's era) and near-perfect fit, clear & easy-to-follow instructions (back before it was 'pictures only'). A great experience that left me chomping at the bit to build the next big way-cool model! A half-century+ later, that yen still runs strong.

[Truth in advertising, the above photo is my last build of the kit, not the first...that one having gone down due to a direct M80 strike during a fighter sweep over the back yard, with no survivors and...darn it!...no photographs. But the more recent build was the same exact model, down to every last raised rivet.  ]

Thanks!

You mean this?

Yah, everything back then was based off off of an elongated V2. with some sort of cockpit,wing, landing gear.

Great looking Johnny Quest Dragonfly there Mach! Man you had to love that cartoon. They sure don't make 'em like that anymore.

Greg, your classic Revell P-51 looks sharp! Let all the snobs hold their nose at such a kit, but you sure made her look great!
