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 |

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

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 Scott

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

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

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) didnīt 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 picīs on the fat german if youīre want to see them.
