Do you build aircraft models?

Revell, Trumpeter (expensive) and Tamiya (expensive but best) are your main contenders in 1/32, Revell are excellent value for money but the quality of their kits varies, they do however make some incredible value for money kits, some very good Hasegawa kits (similar to Tamiya) are re-boxed under the Revell brand and consequently cheaper.

try the Revell 1/32 Junkers 88 - this has only been out a year and retails at £40 in the UK, so I'd guess not much more on your side of the pond

Very cheap very big and very easy to build, not to mention extremely accurate - fabulous value for money.

If you want something slightly smaller the Fw190D-9 by Revell is a Hasegawa re-box and also builds into an astonishing model
