I've tormented friends with daily stories when converting my 1/48 ID Models EC-121 Warning Star into a C-69 Constellation. 🤪 My 1/48 FM Halifax mk.2 conversion was easy in comparison. No more vac forms for me. Adding resin and photo etch upgrades is my limit. 😓

I've wrestled the Tamiya A-10 & sea Harrier... also the old airfix Buccaneer (all in 1:48). All quite horrible, with the Bucc taking over 2yrs. They are all sitting in the cabinet, with the Bucc looking rather tasty indeed. Not that I'm choosing to fight any future kits though!

If you screw up the clear part, you can always buy the part from the distributor. Had to do that for a P-51B, the back glass was a monster to mask and fit.

Dont worry I built the Contrail vacform 1/48 Halifax......lol!

You’re spot on there Phil , I’ve lost my mojo 😔 the kits been in box over 4 months now 😔

For me my nemisis was monogram A-4 M

Good luck with the Halifax you have always got the lego to fall back on for some therapy 😂

Cool 👍

One word. Lindberg

Testor 1:48 Banshee absolutely terrible, it's a Redbox of a Hawk model from the 1950s.

Worst kit to date : the AMP Sikorsky HO3S in 1/48. For me, this kit is unbuildable. The sprue tree diagram does not match the actual sprues, the instructions appear to be for a mix of different versions, but not for the actual parts in the box.

You've got to be shitting me.... I remember that Mach 2 VC-10, four years ago! If you wonder about my "you've got to shitting me", I decided to scroll back through your videos (which are always most excellent btw!), to see how far back I remember (deep sigh), I gave up after 10 years, I've been subscribing for 10 (insert your choice of sentence enhancer here) years!? OK, now I feel old and depressed! 😉😆😂 As a mojo finder, I'm tooling around with a Tamiya 1/48 Skyraider and a Eduard 1/48 MiG-21 PFM at the moment, a bit here and there.... Ineed something strong....🤨🤔....I think coffee will do! 😉😆😂 Greetings from a Swede up in Glasgow....

It always gets a bad rep and it's in the stash - Tamiya Sea Harrier. I'm going to give it a go 👍

do you think that either the 1/72 XB-70 or the 1/48 CF-105 Arrow the be a candidate for the worst kit Builds?

Oof

I've just stupidly nominated myself to build one 😂. Strangely this one has resin engines plus exhausts rather than the white metal ones in your kit. Should be fun over the winter months. 🫣. Good luck with your build.
