There's just nothing better. They just haven't got that many nice models.

After you have been modeling for years you begin to notice the "not-so-great" quality.

Re: Which brand is your favorite?

my favorite is the one i can afford and that has the cars i like. I like a challenge, and i don't mind bitching about the quality of a model, makes the hobby more interesting.

Yeah,I've already noticed it,on my F-100 nether the hood or the doors line up right and I've found the plastic is very weak But still good for beginners.

Tamiya and Hasegawa.

Not only for quality, they're the only ones that really cater to my preferred subject.

yeah i used to use mainly revell but then i found tamiya. revell is just about horrible. the only thing about tamiya is that its expensive. i was going to buy a Ferrari 360 until i saw that it was $40 plus. ouch.

The old MPC kits are my favorites. AMT acquired MPC in the 1980's and have since reissued many of the old MPC kits.

But seriously, I like 'em all!!!
