Your Top Ten models you have built

I always liked building the Revell 1/32 scale F4U-1 Corsair (surprise), the one with the VF-17 birds on the box low over the beach….after that, i built scads of the Monogram 1/48 Corsair with retracting wheels, folding wings, all kinds of bells and whistles….I guess I liked Monogram kits the best because they had all the moving parts if you did them right…loved the Hurricane model they did, the TBM, the Spitfire, Helldiver, P-38, all 1/48 scale…not as great of quality as some of the Japanese kits, but fun to display in different ways….I’m looking at my Grumman Wildcat now, unfinished, but with wings in the folded position…another Monogram kit….

I reached the peak of my model making skills when I was in the midst of my F4 Phantom building phase so I guess it would go:

1.Hasegawa F4E 1/48th
2.Monogram F4J 1/48th
3.Monogram F4C 1/48th
4.Monogram F4D 1/48th
5.Testors RF4 1/48th (Much modified to improve it. RF4B when done)

That being said, given only one model kit to build the rest of my days, it would be the Monogram P51B. I loved that kit as a kid and the quality is still good enough that it is my favorite kit of all time.

Hasegawa 1/32nd Spit Vb would be a close second.

1/32 nd scale – F-4E Phantom II “MiG Killer”
1/72 nd scale – C-47A Skytrain
1/72 nd scale – F-4EJ Phantom II
1/72 nd scale – P-40N Warhawk (Rosie the Riveter)
1/72 nd scale – Bf 110G-2 Zerstorer
1/72 nd scale – F-102A Delta Dagger
1/72 nd scale – UH-1B Huey “Huey Hog”
1/72 nd scale – Tornado F.3
1/72 nd scale – Tu-22M-2 Backfire
1/48 th scale – MiG-21bis Fishbed-N

I have a ton more, but those stuck out for whatever reason.

My best two are easily the C-47 and the F-4E.

Top ten models?

In our house I think the top 10 would be:

1 Dakota
2 Dakota
3 Dakota
4 Dakota
5 Dakota
6 Dakota
7 Dakota
8 Dakota
9 Dakota
10 Dakota

All 1/72nd scale in various guises as C47’s, DC3’s plus variants, in fact eighteen in all plus two more at 1/48th.:confused: 😀
