Man that is a tough one. If I had to narrow it down to one. I would have to pick a kit that is difficult to get. As it came out in the mid 80's as far as I can tell.

 It is a Hasagawa 1/32 OA-4 M Skyhawk High Grade Series No 6. Kit #ch006:4800.

Reason being is. It comes with white metal landing gear with separate pieces for the brake pads, rubber wheels and photo etch. Albeit the etch is thin aluminum. ( I think). Complete with a labeled cut out section on the instrution sheet for the seat harnesses. And all buckles needed for the office.   

You actually have to cut the nose off the fusalage halves to put the blister nose on, plus part of the tail and fusalage to get the avionics hump. So there is a little bit of everything going on in this kit.

The detail on this kit is very good for it's age. I know the made other kits in the High Grade Series, but being a jet junkie this was the only one in the only jet in the series I believe.

They are hard to find. If you can get your hands on one they are a blast to build and they look great when done.

I don't know if that question have been asked before but I think it could be interesting to know in your opinion which kit is the best ever.

No matter if you like doing armor or ships or aircraft, which model did you like to most.

Personaly I like big scale models for the level of details. But you, which kit did you enjoyed the most and why?

Tell me which kit will be the next that I buy.

No matter where you go ....... there you are.
