Need advice on the rosso 512TR kit

Is it good? How are the details? Engine? Is it accurate? I know some of you have it!!! :)

Thanks,
Alex

Probably the best proportioned 512TR available, it is basically a curbside kit. I can post pics of mine later. You can't go wrong with Fujimi's either, it's practically a snap kit so a little work is needed on the light lenses to get rid of the locater pins. Wheels are a little better in the Rosso kit IMO, but both kits are very nice.:)

Thanks for the information, Brian, and yes, I'd love to see yours!

Thanks

Well, here's the Fujimi America version built compared to the Rosso unbuilt. The Fujimi doesn't require glue to build, the Rosso is a full glue kit. The Fujimi has an upper and lower simplified engine, the Rosso just had the lower half molded into the chassis, the Rosso has a seperate engine cover piece that is to be painted black, Fujimi's had to be masked. Both bodies look well proportioned, neither a perfect copy of the real one but way better than Monogram's. I put the Rosso wheels on the Fujimi because they look a little better, I don't know where the Fujimi ones are so no pic. I plan to convert the Rosso to a 512M.

Uh oh, I forgot the chrome tree, it has nice brakes and emblems on it.
