Two of my favorites: Fisher Model & Pattern's Jaguar D-type and Tamiya's Jaguar Mk. II



But I have to agree with Gip, it's usually whatever model I've just finished. Here's my most recent project, Polar Lights' Enterprise. It'll appear in the January '04 FSM as a Workbench Review subject



I guess I don't build too many models that aren't for the magazine!

I think my favorite is always the one just completed. But if I had to pin it down, I think it would be Tamiya's 88mm Flak36/37. What made it the favorite was all the work (and challenge) to make it right. Right behind it would be Tamiya's Marder III.

It is hard to pick a favorite, I guess I just have to ask if I could only build one more model as many time as I wanted to for the rest of my life, what would it be. Mine would probably be the Monogram B-17G. It was one of the first Dad and I built, and I have built several since. Just one of those few kits that are true classics.

My favorite has to be the Tamiya Tiger I made into M. Wittmans S04. I did the works on that one. Verlinden engine, Modelkasten tracks, every p/e set available, and the metal barrel. This was my fav because it was one of very few kits that I actually took my time on everything. Did all kinds of research on . To me she was a beaut , and very fun to do.

Iv'e said it a few times, I'll say it again-Tamiya's Late model Tiger I. Loved the fit and the indy tracks set it off. Who knows which of my unbuilt kits might dethrone it. I believe the new Trumpeter Leopold must be quite an awesome spectacle-3 feet long!

Just about any Tamiya aircraft - especially 1/48 P-51, P-47, F4-U, anything by Accurate Miniatures - their cars included, The old Nitto armored fighting suits (I know, I know, they're fantasy/sci-fi models),
Hasegawa 1/48 P-51, Tamiya 1/16 King Tiger (I've built one!! What a beast!!)..............
Too many models....not enough time.........

Seriously I would have to say the very first one I ever did a 1/72 Monogram P-40N warhawk.
That started it all!
