best fitting kit?

[hellonwheelz3]

I have been in somewhat of a model building...funk...over the last several months because the last several models i've tried to put together did not go well, either because of something I had done or just an ill fitting kit. What would you guys recommend as a kit that would get the fire going again? I'm not looking for anything real spectacular, just something that is maybe an easy kit to do without having to stress about it too much. Thanks everyone.

Revell 87 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe went together really nice as I recall. I did it a year ago

Monogram 1964 GTO. Low parts count, very nice looking kit, fits together very well, easy to find, inexpensive...

[Mike Kucaba]

AMT's '62 Pontiac catalina and I agree about Mono's '64 GTO

[Cool Hand]

Revell 62 Impala

[MachinistMark]

the new 48 ford custom kit, and the 49 merc kit from revell those kits literally fall together.

[Junkman]

Monogram Shelby 350 GT. Man, did that kit fit well into my rubbish bin.

Have you tried any Tamiya kits? They piece together so accurately you would be amazed.

Yeah, until you have to fit the windows.

[Sixx]

For me it was any of Revell's 41 willys...SW&C, Big John's, also Revells 49 Merc

The Tamiya kits should fit that good at the price they charge .

Quoted for truth haha.

Which kit? I've built a ton of Tamiyas with no ill fitting glass. In fact I am amazed at how easily they snap in.

Jag MKII.

[Scale-Master]

The Tamiya Lexus LFA is pretty damned impressive for fit. I'd say as close to a 10 out of 10 as you'll find. And the glass fits perfectly.

Anything Tamiya....just shake the box and the completed model falls out! Matt

Yup. They charge more because they fit together so well.

[High octane]

Any of Revell's '69 Novas.

Sometimes I get out of a building funk by just building a Slammer. Pick a cool set of wheels & put 'em on a flat black chassis, glue the hood shut, paint the body a cool color, black out the windows

and you're done... Instant gratification usually will cure you. Either that or throw together a couple

of Snap kits for your kids, younger relatives, or grandchildren... That'll work too...

>there are a number of Tamiya kits on Tower Hobbies for under $20

theres some truth.

[Tonioseven]

Revell '49 Mercury. AMT '62 Chevies (Bel Air & Impala).

[Chuck Most]

Hard to beat Revell's series of '32 Fords as far as good fit goes. One stipulation is this- building a version with fenders might be a bit more of a challenge than doing one as a Highboy, because fit of the fenders to the body and frame is a bit tight, but other than that, I've never had one of those kits fight me.
