Very sorry for my lack of replies in this thread, I had thought I posted in the other models forum and couldn't find it...silly me. 
Anyway, much thanks for all the feedback.  I had been wanting to stick with Hasegawa, because from all the picks I've seen of their models they look the best.  Like the difference between the Bandai's VF-19 and Hasegawa's...what's up with Bandai's wings? 
I had been hearing around that the VF-1 fighters were difficult to build.  A previous post has made me lean towards a battroid VF-1, they sound straightfoward.  I also looked at their WWII fighters, I've always been a fan of the P-51. =] Sooo...in conclusion, thanks alot for the feedback, I guess I'll think about getting a VF-1 battroid or some WWII fighter, thanks alot. =]
