The mini was a very popular kit where i am. Every time i went in my LHS for one and asked they said they just sold out. Then when i went in and didn't need one that had like 6 and I went back less than a week later and all where gone. Im really surprised they distcontinued it because of fitment issues, because it obviously fit well enough to release in the first place according to them.
Yes, most revells have some little fitment problems except the revell civic and integra plastic kits. Those are the best kits they made (aside from revell germany).
