Hello Everyone,

The body has to be better, and generally MFH kits are better than Renaissance.

would you be able to judge by yourself with these links ?

The body is better as it is symmetrical. The interior bits are also a little more detailed, but Renaissance is ahead on terms of the smaller details such as the air blower, cell phone, etc. I'm getting a MFH kit at the end of the month. If you can wait that long, I can take pics when I get it.

Pleeeease post pics!! (or PM me)

I had order the Renassiance version. Heard that MFH DBR9 is a very simplify kit, that's why is so cheap (at least it is the cheapest of all MFH list). Very little parts but maybe is alot more easier to fix.:2cents:

MFH creates their kits using CAD and 3D printing so it is probably more accurate and definetly symetrical. Renaissance did a diary of the creation of their kit. His started with a Panoz and modified it by hand. So it is not symetrical or perfect. It will take much more work to build than the hiro. As far as details, the Renaissance kits in general have the most in terms of PE and turned metal.

Ill be getting my MFH DBR9 in the mail on Tuesday or Wed. (of next week) so ill post picks of both kits and do a comparison. the Ren kit is very nice and detailed despite a few symmetry problems. The MFH looks very simple for a MFH so i have a feeling im still going to like the Ren kit more. We will see...

It's not often I get fidgety waiting for a follow-up post but I think this is going to be one of those times. (why isn't there a "drooling" smiley? ;) )

Does one understand correctly that you will have both kits, Sir?

I posted pics of my Ren kit a few months ago ( with a bunch of other resin kits in Motorsport section) and Kevin at Strada just informed me he will be recieving the MFH kit this Thursday or Friday and shipping me one immediately, 3 day mail. So im excited to compare the 2 as well.

I'd much rather have a correct body proportion than more parts.

Thanks everyone for your help and interest!

Here´s my dillemma: I have the money (a lot of extra hours at work), and I have the renaissance kit on order, but I just saw the MFH kit listed. In fact, I have changed my order to get the MFH kit, but I just want to be sure I am doing the right thing.

I see the rennaisance kit have a lot of photoetched detail, but since both versions are curbside, I like MFH focus in body detail and correct proportions.

By the way, I see Cobra Colors have the original Aston Martin paint in stock, but I am living in Mexico for the moment...Cobra Colors does not ship to Mexico, so I was wondering if any of you know a way to ship the paint down here.

Do you want a nice shelf kit or do you want a full detail (minus engine) contest killer? buy both LOL

:iagree:

Well, it could be possible a mix of both: correct body + super detail, but it would probably be cheaper buying the real car :)
