Well I've made several tamiya kits and the easiets were the porsche GT2 and GT3. The ferrari 360 is also easy, but more complex. I guess the 350Z is an good starter kit to.

I think most of the Tamiya kits are good kits.They really do go together incredibly well.If you're just starting out I would get a kit that firstly you like (no point building something you have no interest in) Secondly something that has a one colour body,so no complex masking.Thirdly something that is not too complex decal wise.Also maybe something with no engine,which simplifies things a lot.I think the easiest kit I have ever built was Tamiya's 1/24th Lotus Super 7.It has an engine but it is very easy to assemble and paint.

Re: Noob

Any of their new, curbside (without engine) models are great. The WRX, S2000, 350Z, RX-7, Skylines, etc. They are all very good models, go together superbly, and are not overly complex. If you're willing to work, don't discount any of the models with engines. I'd stick to a street car, but cars like their Supra, NSX, Skyline R32, other RX-7, come with motors but go together just as well.

Read select portions of our FAQ or Tutorials (ie, how to paint a body) and take you're time, and it'll come out great.

Re: Noob

Tamiay makes plenty of kits that are terrific for beginners. What kinds of cars do you like? I would strongly recommend a curbside (engineless) kit for your first couple of builds, but there are many great curbside options.
