Well I've made several tamiya kits and the easiets were the porsche GT2 and GT3. The ferrari 360 is also easy, but more complex. I guess the 350Z is an good starter kit to.

I think most of the Tamiya kits are good kits.They really do go together incredibly well.If you're just starting out I would get a kit that firstly you like (no point building something you have no interest in) Secondly something that has a one colour body,so no complex masking.Thirdly something that is not too complex decal wise.Also maybe something with no engine,which simplifies things a lot.I think the easiest kit I have ever built was Tamiya's 1/24th Lotus Super 7.It has an engine but it is very easy to assemble and paint.

Any of their new, curbside (without engine) models are great. The WRX, S2000, 350Z, RX-7, Skylines, etc. They are all very good models, go together superbly, and are not overly complex. If you're willing to work, don't discount any of the models with engines. I'd stick to a street car, but cars like their Supra, NSX, Skyline R32, other RX-7, come with motors but go together just as well.
Read select portions of our FAQ or Tutorials (ie, how to paint a body) and take you're time, and it'll come out great.

Tamiay makes plenty of kits that are terrific for beginners. What kinds of cars do you like? I would strongly recommend a curbside (engineless) kit for your first couple of builds, but there are many great curbside options.
