[QUOTE="Jim62, post: 209568, member: 20206"] It depends on what you mean by highest quality. To me it's great instructions, ease of assembly, great fit, little to no flash, good exterior detail and the need for little to no putty, I hate putty, and an overall great look when completed. That leads me to the 25.00 and up Tamiya kits which have never disappointed. I can't say that about any other brand I've built, those being Hasegawa, Airfix, Academy and Revell/Monogram. I only buy non Tamiya kits if I need something Tamiya doesn't offer. I may sound like a Tamiya snob but they hit the best quality for the money mark for my needs. But that is my opinion and you may find otherwise when looking for what suits your needs, but I'd say the chances are slim. Dang now I may have to take a break after my current diorama and build an aircraft from the stash. [/QUOTE]
