My top 3 models I have ever built:

1) Chili Breeze - British magazine plans- pattern plane- Have built 4 of them.  Two of them planted in the Temac beans.  No buds yet! :)
2) Mini Tarka- speed 400 hand launch from British plans.  It had a Norvel .049, then a speed 400 brushed, then a Series 6 BL in runner (300 watts). Had unlimited vertical on brushless.  In the beans at TEMAC.  Must... and will.... build it again.
3) a tie between the E-Flite Taylorcraft 450 (with a 480!) and the DH Beaver 25e.  Both are fantastic flyers.  Oh, yes, I still have both of these... un-planted. ;D

Full size:
- Mustang
- Spitfire
- Mosquito

Narrowing it down to only three is tough

Full scale:

Mosquito   - never seen one in the flesh, hope to some day
Tempest   - Again, never seen one flying. I would love to hear what a Napier Sabre sounds like.
AV8B Harrier   - Seen these several times. A totally unique aircraft.

Models, this is even tougher ! I could probably come up with 20 that I would love to fly anytime.
In no particular order:

Stobel V3  (DLG)   - I flew these a lot over the last few years. I have newer (better?) planes now, but when I think of DLG I am flying a Stobel V3
Elanor 2015 F3P model.  Had a lot of fun with this model over the last year. Much better airplane than the pilot.
F2D model.      No particular model as long as the CG is right, motor is honking, and I am flying in a good match. There really is nothing else like it.
                       

(At least one electric made the list  :-[)
