Comfort Models, Ya Have One?

[martinfan5]

Well all know about comfort food, but what about comfort models, do you have one?,  a model that you just really enjoy building,  and makes you enjoy building again?

I do think I have a few that could be considered comfort models.

What says you?

I would say that I have a few, Fujimi Porsche 911's,  Fujimi Ford GT40's, Revell Cobra 427's, and Tamiya BMC Mini Coopers.

[KWT]

I have a couple.. not everyone's cup of tea though. Revell/Monogram 70 Chevelle, 79 Camaro, 71 GTX, hemi Cuda, Revell 69 Camaro, 67 Chevelle

I would say the revell 68 dodge HEMI dart 2in1,  revell 68 dodge charger R/T 2in1, revell 69 chevy nova 2in1 and revell 32 ford 5 window 2in1. I have 3 of each and have plan to get a cupel more. 

[martinfan5]

Awesome guys

Mine would have to be the Toyota GT86 kits, and NASCAR kits.

[FordRodnKustom]

Yes. The AMT 40 Fords.

[Scale-Master]

Yeah, at least Seven...

[martinfan5]

Yeah, at least Seven...

, I see what you did there, and I am not shocked Mark.

70's Revell Funny Cars

[DumpyDan]

For me would likely be the 1939 Chevy Delivery and Coupe basically the same kit,  Loads of fun and so many possibilities this is the kit I would want a case of on a deserted island.  

[mikemodeler]

If I were to look at my completed builds, it would be a tie between the Revell snapper 63 Corvette convertible and snapper 69 Camaro. I have built at least 4 of each one and for some reason I can crank those out like nothing but struggle to finish glue versions of the same vehicles!

[gtx6970]

Probably one of, if not my favorite kits to build. Goes together without a fuss.  Maybe not 100% accurate for the subject matter but it sure looks the part once finished. And thats comfort to me.

 

The Revell 1964 Ford Thunderbolt

There's a few. The AMT Cobra, 65 Ford Galaxie and one probably a surprise to most people knowing me basically as a rivet counting replica stock guy: the AMT Garlits dragster (bet I've build a dozen of those over the years)

[cobraman]

Probably a surprise but mine would be a Cobra kit. Any Cobra kit. : )

[bogger44]

I guess I'd have to go with the Monogram/Revell '70 Mustang.  I've built 5 over the years and think there's at least two more currently in the stash.  I'd throw in Revell's 68-69 Dart kits as well.

[Richard Bartrop]

It would probably have to be Jo-han's Cadillac V-16s.  A beautifully detailed kit of a beautiful subject, they go together painlessly and the speculators ignore them so they can be had for a reasonable sum.

[vintagedragcrazy]

Revell 41' willys big john's, swc, ks Pittman great kit!!!

Yes. AMT '63-'67 Corvettes. I'll build 'em new, I'll restore cleanly built originals, and I'll strip and completely rebuild glue bombs. I only have 5 or 6 finished, but I must have more than two dozen of the things (NOT counting NIB '63 reissues for parts--prolly have another dozen of those) awaiting Snakification,  with four or five under active construction at the moment.

And the AMT '67-'68 Camaros. I've finished three and am getting in the mood to do another one very very soon.

I'd also say the MPC (now AMT) '69 Camaro, but I just finished my fifth and probably last one of those. I don't think I'll be doing another one of THOSE. Five is enough. (Maybe.)

[Ron Hamilton]

Revell '69 Camaro and the Revell '72 Hurst Olds Convertible.

[Casey429]

This is a fun question! I'd have to say hands down, AMT's '53 Ford F100. I've built three of my own, restored a couple built-ups, and have enough parts to make up at least another or three. I couldn't help myself and picked up another when the latest issue came out. It's sitting off to the side of the bench right now, being built as a Marmon-Herrington 4x4. A close second would be the Moebius Bumpside Fords. I just finished my first one, and dove right into another. This was a long overlooked subject matter, and many others have praised it and I can totally see why. And even though we're not in the truck section, I'll even say that the reissued California Hauler has won me over. I could never bring myself to pay what originals were going for, and Round 2 hit a home run bringing that one back. I'm getting ready to build my second one, with plans for at least two more.

[wayne swayze]

I love your choices Bill. I'd add the '34 Ford pickup to your list.

[62rebel]

The venerable AMT 49 Ford. I will never not be interested in building another one, and another...

[Greg Myers]

Yes. The AMT 40 Fords.

Ditto !

[Greg Myers]

Another one, builds into a nice lowered chopped suicide front end hot rod
