What Brand Of Models Are The Best?

I've recently retaken up this fantastic hobby of model building. I have purchased a few budget models to help save $$ since I usually jump in with both feet. Case in point, Spitfire 1/48th scale by Revell for 14 bucks. Simple kit which is fine because I'm rusty and never was super good at it LOL! But the fuselage won't fit properly on to the wings. Very frustrating. What I was hoping to be my first near perfect model has a big flaw now due to what I think is warping. Do you get what you pay for in this game? I can't afford to pay 30 bucks and up for each kit I want. Thanks, Zar
other brands I have built and which are on deck are:
Airfix
Academy
Lindberg
Eduard
Tamiya
I have not built any Tamiya or Eduard kits yet though I did do some Tamiya models in ths past and know they have a good rep.
From my experience Lindberg is probably not the best but i have had decent results with them. Airfix and Academy seemed good tough I do not like Airfix instructions. Any input would be appreciated.

Zar, I have no experience with all of the models. Hopefully members having experience with one or some of those will react here with their input.

Hi Zar:

I am new here but not new to modeling. Sometimes it depends on your subject.
Aircraft:
Hasegawa
Tamiya
Revell Germany
Revell
The top two are pricey but the molding is Awesome! If you are looking for something a bit less ugly on the wallet? I would go with the Revell Germany kits. Good molding and not as complicated in the build. I have 3 Revell Germany kits that a friend just sent me... Sweet kits too! Hope this helped...

Hi Zar:

One other thing... Get yourself some decent tools... An X-acto knife kit will do wonders. There is a kit available that has two handles and an assortment of blades. A life saver when modeling! Another thing is the glue you use. Some use super glue, others swear by the old tube glue. I use Tenax7R. This is the nicest stuff! No smell, thin like water, apply it with a small paint brush, and it runs into a joint. You push the pieces togethr and a small amount of melted plastic will ooze up. Trim it away or sand it a bit and the seam vanishes! Great stuff. It's a bonding agent not a glue.
You might want to get some fine grit sandpaper also. 400, 600, 1200 grits and you will be covered for most sanding jobs that will come up.
These are just some of the basic tools I use all the time in my modeling, and no doubt, you will probably come up with more as time progresses and your skills get more and more demanding.
Have fun and above all enjoy what you build!
