Revell hands down.

The lines are crisper.

The roof part, in my revell's superamerica, it looks a bit twisted...

Also, could we have a picture of the two cars, facing each other... with the pic taken from the side, if you don't mind?

Thanks a lot!

What up with the fujimi rear bumper being wider than the body?

Revell hands down.

The lines are crisper.

:iagree: Better body + engine = Revell wins!

Thanks for this very good comparison!

I purchased the Revell kit about 3 weeks ago. I am very happy with it in the box. It is a very nice kit overall. Somebody here was saying that the real cars glass roof was one piece but after viewing pictures of the real one I see it is not. Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the comparison review Jelly. Well done. From what I've seen in completed models of the 550's and 575's Fujimi has the correct stance and ride height but not so with Revell so give and take with each company I guess.

Is the air duct over the left rear wheel on the real car actually functional or just there for looks?

Of course it's functional. It has a gearbox oil cooler behind it.

i've finished about 70% testfit of the revell kit,only the cockpit has not been started yet.revell really provides some amazing details but it still warped and shrinked here and there,fitness of the front suspension and wheel arch sucks...fortunately the chassis is flat.anyway,a lot of works to do before painting.

Revell looks better than fujimi....well.....is my opinion.

I'm working on the Revell one right now and I wish I wasn't. Now this could be just my kit, but everything of any importance is warped (body, bonnet, roof, chassis) and you're really something special if you can make the bonnet opennable AND fitting properly. I wasn't able to, so I glued it on. The headligths are thougth out better than Fujimi in theory, but in practice they look very bad unless you redo them. The wheels look good when dechromed, but perhaps slightly oversized and the tyres are too narrow to my eye. The thing that frustrates me most, though, is the windshield pillar - it's twisted in my kit and the roof just wouldn't fit well enough. All in all, my personal opinion is that in this case Fujimi take it, at least judging by their berlinetta maranello kits.

i have the revell of america kit, and must say, it has more detail than the pictures of the revell of germany kit you have.

But they are the same kit.
