So, What is the ONE model that you hate to put together, paint or just look at because you loath it.
For me it is a Tie between the Rhino Chassis or the Crisis suit.
The rhino is just so bland to build, it is a box, A metal box.
The Crisis suit, I have had to build so many of those im just tired of looking at them.

Metal SAG mek was a terrible model to put together.
Ork bikers are a close second as the riders never fit on the bikes correctly.

Going back a bit, but the Guard Heavy Weapon teams for Autocannons and Heavy Bolters (yes, the metal ones). I think I must've built maybe 24 of them, all told, and I doubt if I put together any of them the same way as the previous one.
They look cool, but I hated that kit.

It's really any Infinity model in high heels. I tend to remove the chunk of metal between the legs that goes in the slottabases, and a model in battleheels doesn't make the attachment easy.

My first Rhino and Baal builds were both done in the same day. It was a humbling experience for a first time modeler. Those fething tracks were just...ugh. Looking forward to my first Storm Raven build. It will probably one up the Rhino chassis builds a bit. I see blood and glued skin.

The rhino is a battle taxi. It's only purpose is to get the troops from A-B quicker than they could on foot. It doesn't have to be pretty and tbh, most contemporary APC/IFVs are rather unattractive metal boxes. It also is an ancient template - designed to be a rugged surface transport for hardy colonial types. These things tend to favour practicality over looks as a result.
METAL Thunderfire Cannon. Went into the smelting pot. The initial casting run was so renowned for miscasts that the local store didn't even try to help gamers assemble them. They just took them back and issued credits.

Old metal Warwalkers.
Spindly, weird weight distribution and they flat out refuse to accept glue onto them. Somehow they repel it.
Chaging the guns to plastic helped me in the end - removed the weight from the arm/ball joint affair they've got. Although this may change. I've still got a storm eagle to do.

Swooping hawks.
Finish them, take them out for a game wings are off....
Put them together again play a game, wings are off............
Try to pin them, drill bit slips into thumb...
Repeat one more round and I just leave the wings off then leave them in a drawer. 
Then they get Finecasted and while I like the look of the models, I won't get them as I think the way they connect to the base is just too fragile.

Also old metal GK termi pauldron shields would never ever stay on despite hundreds of attempts, the little bump for their attachment just ended up getting filed off.

The original Imperial Dreadnaughts. The cup connections on the shoulders and legs were on the face of it fine, in reality they were a nightmare to keep glued on, especially when the armed were stick on. Horrid horrid balls of heavy metal!
Also almost any FoW model, multiple issues across the range with poor casts, fiddley little bits, strange connections and the whole metal/resin interface on most kits. I love the models when theyre together it's just getting them there I hate!

This.
Though I persevered through the use of many, many zip strips and dunking the whole thing in a sink of hot water to make it bend into place. FW may make crappy resin for 40k fanbois. But damn, it looks pretty.
On of the worst models I've had the displeasure of putting together recently was the Legion of Everblight Succubus. Tiny contact point on the base and every. Single. Limb. Is separate.

metal krootoxes and 3ed metal gargoyles. Those models were spawned from an evil so wicked it makes greater daemons look like they frolic with smurfs. They must have been cut in half by a butter knife then had the master cast in jello the way the halves failed to match up.
