Id be interested to see what you have if you decided to sell some hehe.
Well I only started seriously like I said, But myt father has like literally hundreds of kits, mostly Ferraris and F1s of all different vintage.
I personally luv jap cars, and the company that produced the widest range etc, is pretty much Fujimi, and I find their kits to be quite medicore to poor in quality.
I have recently got the Sard GT Supra by Tamiya, and for me they top the competion in quality and detail!
I really do hope someone releases a decent FC3S series 5 kit!

Well at the moment I am sifting thru all my kits to see what I want to keep and what I am happy to let go. When I put them up for sale you can see if there's anything there you like.
Having built many different brands of model kit over the years I can tell you that Tamiya kits are far and away the best out there. Their quality is superb (some of their new kits are mind boggling, eg Ferrari Enzo, Porsche Carrera GT) and the kits just fall together, such is the level of engineering they put into them.
Fujimi tend to be hot and cold - some of their kits are fantastic (especially the Enthusiast Series, now 15 years old!) and others are horrible. Hasegawas are okay, their main problem is they tend to cut corners when retooling a model into an updated version. For example, they never updated the interior of their Mitsubishi Evo rally cars from Evo III to Evo VI, even though they were quite different in each one. I, for one, like my models to be accurate! I have never built an Aoshima, so I can't comment on those.
Basic rule of thumb - if Tamiya make the car you are after, then get it!
