I agree car models are very different, and it is true many car modelers want to build "showroom new." Many, but not all. Rusted wreck in a barn, old car wrapped around a light pole, even cut in half lengthwise, with one stock half and an opposing radical custom half on the same plank .... I've seen some fine non-shiny car models. Thanks for posting.

I've learned over the years Not to judge a kit by the number of plastic trees ( actually sprues hold the parts ) . Better to judge the kit by the price The less it costs the easier The more it costs the more complicated . I've learned that a kit in a small box can also at times be very complicated . This is why I judge by the price . I'm not claiming that I'm an expert although I've built kits for military museums ( 14 ) in my younger years along with several hundred business and private displays . That 1:48 'th scale Tamiya bulldozer is on the borderline of complicated .

Great video. You’re right about those of who came of age when plastic kits were first introduced. My first attempt at making a model was a wood kit of a Grumman Panther. I think that had to be about 1954, when I was nine. Five or six pieces of wood that looked vaguely like parts of the plane, a package of glue powder to be mixed with water, a set of decals, a couple of pieces of sandpaper, instruction sheet, and a picture of the finished model, which bore zero relationship to the mess I was about to create :)

The first bandai kit I build is one of the largest MG kit available. For me the bandai kit(PG, MG, MGEX, HGUC) are basic kit for me and now i get into plane model kit.

Tamiya models are the best for any skill level - perfect for entry level builders while also providing an excellent starting point for super detailers.

@@LiberalsArePoop yes the 300zx is my favourite out of the three. How complicated is it? Suitable for a beginner? Intermediate? Or is it hard? I've heard the rear tail light panel on it is fiddly.

Very cool information. I wish I had seen this when I started in the hobby. This is the type of thing that a person just starting out needs to know. it alleviates so much confusion and frustration.

I am really surprised you didn't mention trumpeter in your tank section of good kits. As they are bringing out great armour , ships and aircraft kits. And another shock was no mention of revell as a 50/50 kits. Nice video great advice.

Thanks very much for this overview. I'm just getting into this hobby, and you've given some good advice here for new modelers. I think your point about starting with something relatively simple to avoid wasting money on models that are more detailed and complicated and having it turn out rubbish due to the skills not being developed yet is a good one. I've been evaluating kit manufacturers to determine where the best place to start it, and you've covered some of the ones that I've been looking at (i.e. Tamiya, Airfix, etc.). I've also liked what I've seen from Eduard, though it seems like they specialized in the higher end of the spectrum. I think I want to start with a Spitfire as my first attempt. Are there any specific Spitfire kits you'd recommend for a first build that offer a good balance of detail and ease of assembly? Also, was that a Magpie I heard in the background? Noisy buggers!

@obamatraore2339 4 жыл бұрын

Go with Airfix or italeri they’re basic enough for a beginner

@andrewblake2254 4 жыл бұрын

I had a bad experience with Hobby Boss T34 Fit was OK but with hundreds of parts and no instructions to speak of it was a very unsatisfactory model. The plastic too tended to melt when it saw the glue dispenser. Some of the parts were so poorly cast they were unrecognisable. I bought another vehicle from a Ukraine supplier which was so bad with the instructions that it ended up in the bin. Part of that problem was that there were no locating lugs and nothing to locate the many panels which had compound curves.

I was wondering what scale model is best in availability, space, and variety as well as price for beginner modelers since I don’t want to go from one scale to another. I hear judging from the comments 1:35 and 1:72 is best. Any advice?

@scalemodelmania 5 жыл бұрын

yeah mate 1/72 is the best option and start with Tamiya kits would be my advice.

I have some experience with miniature models but looking to get into putting together a few tanks for a "diorama" for my collector case. Sadly I don't know much about these type of models. I trying research what scale, level, and brand I should get. There 6 tanks in total I want for it but would prefer to have the same level and brand for each of them.

First 3 want to go with is Jagdpanzer 38(t) Hetzer, Panzerkampfwagen VIII Maus, and Type 89 I-Go Otsu/Chi-Ro. Bouns points if anyone knows what "diorama" I'm going for lol...

@scalemodelmania 6 жыл бұрын

Scale depends on how big you want the dio to end up. You will have a lot of choice in 1/35 scale and may be able to make it more detailed. 1/72 does have a huge range of choice as well but will be far more fiddly to work with. The 1/72 tanks will be much easier to build and there are some really nice models in the scale these days. Just do some looking around the net and you will find a heap of awesome info out there. Let me know if you need any more help mate.

@williamhenry2290 6 жыл бұрын

Yeah 1/72 would take up a lot less room. But finding all 6 tanks will be fun...
