Re: newbie model purchase help
You can't really go wrong with Tamiya, everything they've made over the last fourty years has been of the highest quality. Fujimi on the other hand is a lucky dip, some of their stuff is brilliant, but sadly just as much, if not more is rubbish.

Re: newbie model purchase help
I am really enjoying the tamiya 350Z, thought it seems a bit pricey for how basic it is. (the undercarrage and suspension are all one piece) I just bought a tamiya r33 skyline for $18- the one with the engine detail... and it seems to be a cool kit.
