For model building, I think a good-quality scroll saw is most useful. A bandsaw is good for longer, straight cuts, but I tend to use the scroll saw more. Most cuts are for the fuselage bulkheads and wing ribs. They are usually one-off or two-off. You can work just as fast with a good scroll saw as with a bandsaw with the scroll saw having a smaller kerf.
