Model Forum / General / Models / April 2008Kit Suggestions
Hi All: It's been many, many years since I've put together a kit, so I thought I'd canvas the group for suggestions. My interests in the past have been 1\48 or better, ww2 aircraft, especially twin engine. I'd prefer to start out with a relatively easy build and then work up from there, so I'm wondering if the group could come up with some recommendations. Also, what web modeling sites do you recommend? Any assistance you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! A great kit that fits your subjects would be a 1:48 Tamiya P-47. An excellent kit, a real ego booster because it goes together flawlessly. Websites: http://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/ http://www.aeroscale.co.uk/ http://www.hyperscale.com/ http://cs.finescale.com/forums/ http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php http://modelingmadness.com/ http://www.britmodeler.com/ Do a little lurking to find the one that best fits you and your personality as well as modeling interests. Each forum has it's own unique flavor. Much apprciated. Thank you! Much appreciated. Thank you! I'll take a peek at the sites this evening. > A great kit that fits your subjects would be a 1:48 Tamiya P-47.

Not to rock the Tamiya boat, but I'd suggest you find a subject that inspires you FIRST...then think about what model kits and manufacturers are out there. For websites, get yourself an ID to use hyperscale (http://www.hyperscale.com) and get used to posting questions in its discussion forums. It's a very informative group and you'd be shocked how responsive they are. ---- Stephen > A great kit that fits your subjects would be a 1:48 Tamiya P-47.

Either the Mk I or Mk V versions, for the same reasons as the P-47. > Websites: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > http://modelingmadness.com/ > http://www.britmodeler.com/ http://www.cybermodeler.com/index.shtml http://www.internetmodeler.com/  SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese.

There's a pattern beginning to emerge here. >>> A great kit that fits your subjects would be a 1:48 Tamiya P-47.

Just about any Tamiya 1/48 kit is going to be a nice build, if you don't mind spending a bit more. Seeing you mentioned twin engine, their Mosquito is an outstanding kit and a great build. I did the FB Mk. VI, the first offering in the series; they've also got a B Mk. IV. Pip Moss > Hi All: > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Thanks in advance! suggest you also subscribe to greatmodels.com newsletter so you know what is coming up, etc. cybermodeler.com also has a daily "what's new" section. For starters you may want to stay away from Trumpeter kits. Besides the price, their kits usually come with way, way too many pieces, most of them so small that the old farts here at RMS cannot see them.... So as was suggested before, what theme interests you? Craig |
