Questions & Answers
Question : Whats the Best brand for model airplane kit?
The ones with the best detail and construction for 1-72 airplane kits ( Mainly looking at military aircraft )...The plastic ones you glue together and sometimes paint... not the wooden ones ... some examples are Academy, Italeri, Revell.. I was considering to buy some since i have lots of time during the summer and would like the greatest detail ... thx~
Answer:
My personal preference is Hasegawa, though I've only ever built the Macross kits from them. They're really detailed, though, and fit together really well.http://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?SeriesID=934&MacroType=InjKit&Maker1=HSG&Dis=-2&GenreCode=Sci&sear chpage=ScitopHere's Hasegawa's military jetshttp://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?word2=&series2=All&scale2=All&InStock=1&btnSearch=Narrow+Search&Dis =-2&GenreCode=Air&MacroType=MilJet&Maker1=HSG&searchpage=AirtopYou might want to look at Tamiya, toohttp://www.hlj.com/hljlist2/?word2=&series2=All&scale2=All&InStock=1&btnSearch=Narrow+Search&Dis= -2&GenreCode=Air&MacroType=MilJet&Maker1=TAM&searchpage=AirtopOr, just look around here, and see what strikes your fancy. I've built mainly Japanese kits, so I'm a bit more skewed towards them over American kits.http://www.hlj.com/top/Air

Question : What is the best kit airplane?
What is the best kit airplane?A friend of mine wants to build an airplane from a kit. He is a very experienced instrument rated pilot. He has done some research already but wants to know what others think is the best plane to build on your own from a kit. He wants to build a two-seater, preferably.**a real plane, not a remote controlled oneHe usually flies below 10K feet high, prefers flying up to 200mph, typical trips 100 to 600 miles, Little to no aerobatics? enclosed bubble canopy or cabin-style is fine, Both high wing or low is fine (he currently flies high wing) Metal construction, Tricycle gear, STOL would be bonus but not necessary, fixed gear, Vintage replica not important, My friend is IFR rated but a VFR setup is ok, Side-by-side seating, non LSA, A "51% rule" partially constructed kit, Willing to by necessary tools, limited metal working skills, 2 car garage for shop space preferred...but hanger is an option, prepared to put 10 hours a week for 3 years into a "kit plane", $75,000 price range.
Answer:
You're probably a sweet person but your question is like Tiger Woods coming to YA for how to select a golf club. One of you is not genuine to ask this question. I hope it's him because in-spite of your anonymity you have been on YA for a long time. And he doesn't have answers supporting his status. He's playing you!

Question : Do kids still build model airplanes, cars, ships? Or is it just old guys now?
I'm thinking primarily of plastic kits, like I built when I was a kid, but also wood (for ships and balsa for planes) and/or metal, etc, etc. etc. I know there are a lot of Lego sets and Zoobs and magnent construction sets and so forth. Do kids build airliners (737, 777, A320, A380, etc) or jet fighters (F/A-18E, F-15C, Su-27, Harrier) or cars (Mustangs! New Beetles, Honda Civics)? Thanks.
Answer:
Yep.My kids Build model Aeroplanes with thier dad.

Answer:
I agree with others.Vans would be my choice hands down. Helped a friend work on the tail section on a fast build kit. Very straight forward metal construction. Wish I had the time to build one.Very large network of builders. Good LuckMy compliments on a well presented question. Very detailed and informative unlike so many here on Yahoo! Answers.

Question : Tools for airplane model kit?
Okay the last question... What basic tools do you need for a good looking airplane from a kit(plastic ones with the construction and gluing and painting ) a ( 1 - 72 ) examples : glue, paint... but be specific... and if possible can you list, in the different paragraph, advance tools for airplane model
Answer:
Here's what I use.glue specific for plastic models ( http://www.amazon.com/Cement-Deluxe-Economy-Bottle-NET-40ml/dp/B002DTLD02 )A little CA glue (super glue) wouldn't hurt either ( http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM87062 )hobby knifetweezers, of various sizesplastic nippers to use to get the parts of the sprues easily ( http://www.hlj.com/product/MNED-3A )a magnifying lamp ( http://www.google.com/images?hl=en&rlz=1G1GGLQ_ENJP374&=&q=magnifying%20lamp&um=1&ie=UTF-8&source=og &sa=N&tab=wi )emery boards and sandpaper (around 300 grit)putty, to fill in gaps ( http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM87053 )I use a lacquer-based paint called Mr. Color. Used it for years, and I love it. I don't know how easy it is to get in America, though. I always had to order it from Japan. Now, I live here, so it's as close as my local hobby shop. I also use a small supply of Tamiya enamels. I apply them with an airbrush, using this set-uphttp://www.hlj.com/product/TAM74515http://www.hlj.com/product/TAM74527AND, this is what I managed to do with all those toolshttp://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/573993872RUDlgFhttp://home-and-garden.webshots.com/al bum/575406525YpOrKV
