Best Supra motor?

I've seen a few Supra models that have engine detail (ie. come with a motor). My question is; in your opinion, which Supra model has the best engine detail?

I know the F&F Supra has a motor, as does the Tamiya & Aoshima (Bomex) Supras... (any others?)

Which one do you guys like best?

BTW, the motor isn't going in a Supra :evillol: (you'll see...)

The Aoshima is the same as the F & F Supra, just reboxed, it's sadly, well, 1/25 scale garbage. ;) Definately go for the Tamiya ;)

Cool! Thanks for the quick replies! It just so happens that my LHS has a Tamiya Supra in stock, so I'll have to go pick that up :iceslolan

The project I have in mind is going to take a while, so I wanted to start gathering up everything I'll need in advance.

Thanks again!

Fujimi's 5M and 7M motors are more detailed than Tamiya's, if you can find one, that is.

An import of a different sort...

I'll be using a Toyota Hi-Lux body ("Custom Version I" <-- I believe it is). Scratchbuilt (complete) tube-frame. Supra motor, Supra rear suspension, and possibly some of the Supra interior - we'll see...

I'm anxious to get started on it, but I want to finish a couple other kits first. Just to get back in the groove...
