Which model would you choose with closed eyes ?

I would never choose a kit solely on the brand. Every manufacturer has produced both kits worth buying and the occasional dog. Some may be more consistantly high quality, but that's no gaurantee. Many many thanks to all the people who write up and post online reviews of model kits.

I do, however, boycott Hasegawa. It's been twelve years since I built an airplane model, and I'm still PO'ed at having to buy a separate kit just to get some bloody sidewinders.

Supposing the keep the price ratio they have today for 1/72 revell germany all the way....
Their P-47, Me 262 and Hurricanes cost 1/3 of Hasegawa or Tamiya at the same scale and they are just excellent in crispness and detail........For 1/48 I have to go with Tamiya and Hasegawa.....Unless Esci is reborn from their ashes.....
By the way.....Please bring a 1/72 J7 Shiden (hasegawa) and Potez 630 (heller) back in stock.......And many thanks for the Mirage PZL P 24......

KALFAKIS......neat idea your poll............
i voted Monogram....though others are better engineered i know..........Monogram has been there for a long time and they've always been reliable with subjects that's always captured my interest..............however..............though new to the scene.......i believe Accurate Minatures would be the one i'd have voted for though it would have been a struggle with Monogram there, too.
....don't think i'll ever be an expert but, i like to chop and cut and modify and add-on and photo-etch.......etc. so any kit i get my hands on i'm gonna change and/or add some aftermarket do-dad to accuratize it.....if i'm in the mood or the kit can take the punishment but, i'll........find a way to replicate something that really flew..........and Monogram and Accurate Miniatures were/are the fairest priced and in my faveourite scale........
and i love to chop up Revell kits.........tsk tsk
it's a hobby of hysterical proportions and historical significance............
happy modelling y'all..................

Dear fellow modellers,
Your comments are valuable!
Be sure that your comments will pass to TAMIYA soon !
So if you have requests please, you are welcome !

dont forget the 1/32 FGR2 please Costas pretty please now heres the grovelling is that enough grovelling

Yep it has to be Tamiya. Haseqawa runs a very very close second. Unfortunately Tamiya aren't releasing enough racing/rallying car kits anymore.
