Hi, all.
I'm the real fan of tanks and military vehicles, but now I want to assemble any good for a newbie airplane kit. Can you advise something?
It would be perfect if such kit contains a relatively small amount of parts.

I'm like you however I have bought 2 airplane kits and will try one for a change sometime.
I bought the new tooled airfix spitfire. It has had some good reviews. I believe the newer roden and icm airplane kits are good. These three makers are relatively cheap as well.

Depends what type of planes you like? Ww1, ww2, Cold War, modern? There's lots to chose from.
You can easily pick up any kit, but I would advise getting something you have an interest in, or just like the look of. You're more likely to enjoy it that way.
Once you've picked a plane you like, ask on here, or check out scalemates.com for info on the kits available. Then have a read of some reviews of the kits you like.
It sounds a bit long winded written here, but it's quite easy, and will pay dividends. HTH buddy!

Chiefy's right. Narrow it down to what aircraft you fancy (and any size preference) then everyone will weigh in.
