. The Tamiya kits and paints are a bit more expensive but the quality and fit and finish are awesome.

Tamiya kits are very nice indeed. They require less work than a lot of others, although some of the new Revell kits (especially the Revell Germany ones) are pretty nice too!!!

I just can't get over my hatred of curbside kits.

I used to build Star Trek models. I have an original Enterprise, A, D, Voyager, 3 adversary set and runabout that are completed. I also have a B, E and DS9 that are either unfinished or damaged. I did some battle damage on my Enterprise A (Star Trek VI-esque). I agree, adding weathering and damage is fun. My brothers and I primarily built aircraft. I even had a 1:48 Airwolf.

Building a Tamiya 370Z right now. It's the first one I've ever done and probably be the last one I'll ever do. I love assemblying it but I hate painting it. I'm too impatient. Doing mine all white. White brakes, white seats, white mats, and then gonna put a big red dot with the number 34 on the door panel.
