Favorite all time Kit\Build

[sjordan2]

Momogram 1/8 scale Jaguar XKE.

I got it as a Christmas gift when I was a kid... my dad and I built it (ok, mostly my dad!)... great memories and a fantastic kit.

My Holy Grail kit is the original Imai / Bandai 1:8 E-Type. Unlike the Monogram / Revell versions, it has an opening rear hatch and no lower body seams, according to builders. Super expensive these days, and frankly, Unobtanium.

I can't think of a more troublefree build than [ the Monogram 1970 Mustang BOSS 429 ]  was. The Monogram '70 GTX and Superbird were also completely painless. Great easy builds, but not my very favorite subject matter.

I thought of another one that would make my Top Five: JoHan '69 Road Runner. Loved it as a kid, looking forward to doing at least a couple more of them.

I used to joke that I could build that Monogram BOSS 429 in my sleep !

The 1970 GTX was right there , too .

The JoHan stuff was in its 1980's "U.S.A. Oldies" stage by the time I found the first one (at a toy store in El Monte and at the La Habra Fashion Square) . While I liked the subject matter (still do !) I found their flash-riddled kits to be a burden for my skill level at that time . I'm telling you ; hindsight is 5150 !

One of my favourite kits is the Revell 1967 Coronet.

Just for you Ace, my original built in 1969, now looking like a barn find. Looks like it's about due for another good cleaning....

AMT's '49 and '50 Ford coupe and convertible, and their '53 F-100... I must have two dozen of the cars in various styles, stock included, and several of the F-100 in various configurations; the last two builds have been full-on customs. I need to get the "Showboat" issue to do another "Sportsman" concept car.... I also like the '66 Galaxie kit, although it has some fit issues due to it's age. JoHan's SC/Rambler was one of my favorite kits as well; even with incorrect details. I never had much love for Monogram except the '41 Continental and '40 Ford pickup. Revell... the only kit I really LIKE from them is the Stone/Woods/Cook Willys. I've built several Tamiya and Fujimi kits but not enough to claim a "favorite".

AMT '63 Nova wagon, followed closely by the AMT '57 Ford.

Favorite kit would have to be the Revell 69 Camaro. Has to be since I have projects (all Stalled) to do 17 different ones! All the kits and almost all the resin pieces needed. Still have to get about 4 resin hoods if I recall.
