What is the BEST KIT

[mentel]

I want to buy a new model, my trans ams need too much work, my integra makes me gag, my millenium falcon is so frigging big it would take me months to do it.

I'm looking for a nice simple curbside kit to reduce time+effort, a good nice style, an dmost importantly, assembly.

This kit has to be easy to put together, and I need help finding rims online for it. So here is where you guys come in.

I am asking if you could all tell me your opinions on the best model kit to purchase, and the kit that has been mentioned the most I will buy it, providing i like the car and the hobby shop has one in!

Thanks guys! also, i need a link for buying rims online!

If it has to be curbside then my vote goes to the new Tamiya R34

[supratuner]

the fastest is the tamiya WRX STi

or the aoshima Veilside RX-7 C1

would u consider selling the Integra since it makes u gag?
PM me if u would

[thizishkenny]

the Veilside rx-7 is easy to put together

I'd suggest a Tamiya curbside over a Fujimi. They have better painting instructions, better ways of dealing w/painting the inner glass, nice emblems and decals, lots of illustrations to help you along the way. Just a lot more quality inside the box. Fujimi does some neat cars, but they aren't as well engineered. A beginner is better w/Tamiya, and when your skills increase you'll be better armed for building and detailing a Fujimi to look as good as a Tamiya.

Easy ones to get looking good are the Impreza WRX STi, the 350Z, the Skyline R34, the Porsche 911 GT3, Boxster, S2000...as long as it's a Tamiya curbside you really can't go wrong with the model itself.

Don't count out your ITR. I've been known to make a curbside out of a full-detail kit. Just glue the hood shut, and sometimes not worry about doing much, if any, paint detail on the chassis. Just stick to the body and interior, and get it to sit right. The ITR would do very well like this, and yet it's engine and chassis seemed very easy for me to finish.

Thanks guys, but I'm not a beginner! LOL
I just want something easy because I have no time to do anything lately, I j ust want something easy to slap together that I can do. I' don't need instructions, as 80% of the models I build the instructions are not included with the kit because I buy them used. So that being said, i just paint them however I want.

No, I will not be selling my integra becase its not don e yet, i just got the roll cage mounted and im on my way to buy neon ligh ts for it. some how i need to shave theputty off and make door hin ges, but how?

okay guys, i went to the hobby store today. I took the opel astra coupe and almost purchased it. I pu t it back then grabbed an s200 because FOTW makes kits for it.........then i though, bah...put it back, and now im at hom e, confused as to what kind of model i should buy.

i also got color shifting paint, that should be interesting to see how it turns out

Go for the Tamiya WRX or the GTR's(32-33-34)

Dude, look at what you did. It's no wonder you can't finish a kit, look how scattered you are. Chill out, keep working on your started projects, focus and finish. We all go through is at times, I sometimes build a curbside when I need a boost or a break from a more in depth project to get a feeling of accomplishment. Don't freak out on us!:what:

Just get whatever fancys you. I wouldn't buy a curbside because for the money you dont get what you pay for, they are 70 part kits at the most, I think that is a ripoff. I found the AMT 1967 Mustang very good, pretty damn good moldings aswell! It has 100 pieces or alittle bit more i think. But get whatever fancies you.
