Kits to by, not to buy

I know there is probably a thread like "your fav kits" but in this i want to know which ones get you the best deal and which kits are the worst

I like my 3n1 el camino lowrider because it came with 3 sets of rims, a few hoods, suspension, tires and much more.. and i only bought the kit for i think $9

i havnt had a worst kit yet, ive enjoyed all of them that ive had

worst kit = fujimi s15...AHHH..:bloated:

The revell ITR is obviosly a good buy. 4 sets of wheels, 3 wings, alot of decals. They go for about maybe $13 now at hobby stores.

The fujimi skyline I buahgt was a pretty bad kit. The body was out of proportion and some of the parts were not fitting properly.

I think the heller 1/24 bike kits are good as well :)

my favorite is my s2000 from tamya

I also like the s2k from tamiya!.. so easy to build.. and so beautiful..

the 350 z wasnt bad either.

the s2000 rocks..if i only wouldn't have lost some suspension parts:(well...making a suspension conversion from the r34 to the s2000:D

I agree the Revell ITR has a lot of options. Another good kit for the buck is the new Civic's from Revell. They have lots of options as well. Of course just about any Tamiya kit is good just for the fact they rarely have fit problems or need much work to make a great model.
Off hand I would say my worst kit would be a Fujimi RX-7 I built last year. OMG the fit problems I had with that one:newburn:

Tamiya Nissan Skline R34 v-spec II. Great kit.
Also the Revell Firebird 3n1 and Tamiya WRX STi are good too.

Good kits: revell tuner civics,revell itr

Bad kits- Revell MUstang SALEEEn(dont buy parts dont fit good-obviously an older kit..)

Best so far : Ofcourse the Enzo
Worst : Revell BMW 325i Coupe. Nothing fit, and when they did it was a horrible scale, wheels sucked, the tires were horrible.... aahh the memories :(

dont buy Revell of Germany's MG TC.........or AMT's F100

that F 100 mustve hated you mine came out fine.
my best is 64 impala by revell,58 impala by amt

worst kits ever anything by lindberg

My friend tryied to build one of those. The real lights didnt fit at all, and had alot more problems!!

The worst kit I ever had build was an C.C LEE Mercedes Benz 600 SEL( a Tamiya copy). The body was warped and the engine parts (most of them) didn´t fit at all !!! Not to mentioned the rims. I had to get new rims from Aoshima - BBS spoke. But I finally manage to completed the project and have pic´s on the fat german if you´re want to see them.

Best kit, Tamiya Supra, no questions asked

Worst: Revell Pontiac GTO 64' 2 in 1 kit

Best kit, erm, don't really know, they all went together

Worst kit ; I think nobody has made such a bad kit ;

The Minicraft ( I think) Rolls Royce .. I don't know which year... about 1960, but I tell You, this car really sucked, the plastic was about 0.50 cm thick !

Olivier

I think hmm lamborghini miura by doyusha the wolf racing, the scale is very out of proportion! the wheels are too small, the detail sucks!

Best kit well not very good in detail though but I love it, Aston db5 doyusha james bond version! (I'm a 007 and aston die hard :P), tamiya f40, ferrari p4 330 by fujimi hard to find!, tamiya supra sard version.

Best Kit: Still not found yet!:D
Worst Kit: Fujimi S15 Silvia. The aligment of the wheel arch and wheels are totally wrong. Front is too back and rear is too front. Spend lots of time to make it aligment.:(

Wow, this disapoints me. I was planning on getting the fujimi Silvia but I'm hearing all these bad things about it and it makes me not want to buy it anymore :( . Is it really that bad???

Best: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS/RS
Worst: 2001 Chevrolet Silvarado w/ waverunner. way too hard, with the decals and the paint job you need to have, cmon. its not easy enough to be a skill 2. how are you supposed to paint around the decals and when you tape over them, they come right off. i just turned mine into a flatbed. done deal:D

I hope this tips can help you. After you apply the decal, spray 1 coat of clear on it. After it dry, mask it and spray on it. Same on the West CLK-DTM decal:rolleyes:
