My favorite manufacturers are Aoshima, Revell, Tamiya, and Fujimi. I like to build most types of cars but I prefer Japanese high-performance and VIP Touring sedans along with American musclecars. My website has a good idea of what I build mostly. :bandit:

My favourite manufacturer has to be Tamiya, although I've only built 2 kits from other manufacturers. One was a Hasegawa Evo V WRC but I made a balls up of that one. Good kit though, and the photoetched parts are being recycled into my Pug 206 (Tamiya ).

The other one was a Revell Corvette C5-R which has great engine detail but absolutely awful fit problems. It's on the shelf waiting to be finished and it will probably stay there for some time.

Favourite subjects are WRC and street cars, but I've got a Calsonic R34 lined up for a bit of a change.

Bandai! Oh wait car models. Ok, I like Tamiya quality and detail but I love the subject matter of Fujimi kits. Fujimi detail and scale just blows!
I want to try Aoshima, hoping this will be the happy median between Tamiya and Fujimi.

Hm, I haven't built anything but Tamiya and Revell, so I'd have to say them. And their street cars. I'm getting into rally modeling, though...

Bandai's car models are good. They produced many detailed car models in 1/20 scale. The last one was Nissan Be-1, which was 1/24 scale curbside.
I'm still hunting for 1/16 Porsche 924.

I know that.
Bandai probably has the most advanced and highest quality tooling technology in the plastic model market.

The one thing that nascar kits are good for is racing parts if you can find them cheap on ebay.
