    Whats your favourite model?

    My favourite model is the spitfire. The spitfire not only looks great in real life but it looks great in any scale. Airfix do a great 1:24 spitfire with a motor to turn the prop.

    Whats your favourite model?

    Hi Tom. I do love a Spitfire. My favourite however is its mortal enemy, the Bf 109. My favourite part of modelling is the painting and weathering and if I grew as old as Methusela I would not even scratch the surface of all the possible schemes. It's also not a bad looking machine in its own right. A 109 looks business like, even dangerous.

      What?! A favourite which ISN'T an aeroplane!

      Hi folks,

      Although I'm new(ish) I thought I'd put my penny's worth in here. Of the kits I've built/started, my favourite by far is the 1/35 Leopold railway gun by Dragon. I've no idea what the Trumpeter version is like, but this is what I think is known as a 'shake and bake' kit. It just falls together as you take the parts off the sprues - and at about two feet long when finished, it also looks quite impressive on the shelf.

      It's nowhere near as impressive as the Dora I've got in the same scale, which is HUGE (about six feet long), but the Dora was not so nice to build.

                Hi mate,

                I just completed this one about 2 weeks ago. The build thread is on here go to Under Construction seaction and look for P47 Thunderbolt 1/8 scale. You can see the build from start to finish. It took over 1500hours to build.

                Cheers

                            My favourite has always been the Mosquito. I haven't made one since I was really young, but do have a 1:48 revel waiting for the go.
