Viking Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Maybe it is a hard decision for some, but for me this has for a long time been my favourite model. I built it about 10 years ago and have always kept a place for it in my cabinet. It is the Aeroclub 1/48th Tiger Moth. I like my Eduard WW1 kits, love the Wingnuts kits, and maybe one of these should be my favourites, but for some reason this one wins. Its a lovely little kit, goes together well, and perfectly says 'Ah! De Havilland'. So here it is, my all time favourite model; Anyone want to post a few pics of their favourite?

Paul A H Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Superb work. Mine is probably my Airfix Spitfire Mk I. Although it's the new kit, it reminded me of building kits with my dad and brother as a nipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacksdad Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Many years ago I built Trumpeters 1/35 Faun Tank Transporter and put a Tamiya Leopard 2 on it. I also added chains and working shackles I picked up in a model train show. For sheer enjoyment it was hard to beat. As for aircraft. This is Tamiya's 1/32 F-16 Thunderbird converted to an Isreali aircraft using Isracast conversion and decals. Again, for a job which was satisfying it was hard to beat. Hope you enjoy the pics.

Viking Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) Hey, great response ! They are all lovely, I know what you mean about the Spitfire Paul, I always used to make the Frog Sea Fury with my dad. Youve done a top job with it. Cracking Tomcat (is that the Sundowners?) and F-16 too, and that Faun is a beauty, thats what I call heavy metal. And wow, the Warthog is something else, got a few more pics Simon? John Edit - and a belting Typhoon arrives while I was writing this. What are this RBF tags, brass etch? they look really good.

Irishgreek Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Mine (which is long gone now) was a 1/72 Hasegawa F-14 done up in the 'Be-Devilers' TPS. Had a lot of fun with that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoftScience Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 (edited) My vote is on the P-47 My best one has to be the 1/48 Accurate Miniatures Yak-1 built late 2010 Edited May 13, 2011 by SoftScience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murdo Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 My absolute favourite is this: 1/35 Bristol Bloodhound. Inaccurate... But I love it! Why? Because it's not a kit... It's my first ever scratchbuild and made from a photo. I built it from styrene, balsa, pencils, candles and wiring from a PC power supply. I had to use the material I had to hand and just could not get the shapes right, especialy the cones. It near drove me demented. I love it, pure dead chuffed with it! Beside 1/35 figgie for size reference: Definitely my most favourite model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPNGROATS Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I'm partial to the Messaschnitzel as flown by Werner Mouldy...and a companion Spitsfire as flown by Lt. Rif Raf... These are Revell kits with some mods... Cheers, ggc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emlra Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 This one! Sirmar HMS Hermes.........3years now and still not quite finished! Not up to your excellent standard guys.......but trying hard! Rex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiking Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) I was thinking this was an aircraft-only-thread until I saw the Faun and carrier. That carrier is just amazing. Outstanding work! There are some amazing models in this thread guys. Fantastic!!! I have a quite a few that I consider awesome but I think I would have to nominate this M1074 PLS HEMTT Truck. Simply because it is scratch built. It may not look perfect but considering the work that went into it, it still stands as my favorite after building it about 4 years ago.
