Need an opinion

Is $12.95 a good price to pay for a Revell Ferrari Testarossa 512 TR. The price is without shipping.

It sounds like a decent price for a kit in general. I can't comment on that kit in particuar, though.

You mean just get the Tamiya Ferrari Testarossa? Is that the same thing as the 512 TR?

the two cars are very different. although they may look the same, the 512 is more revised and modern. the black lining on the bottom is changed to body color and the interior is highly upgraded. they also changed the headlight cluster, and added different wheels. overall its a much better car. i say go for the kit! you can't go wrong with Ferrari!

If you want the 512TR especially, then you'll have to go Revell, as they are the only company who do it!
But the stantard of the Tamiya kit will blow you away, though it is the earliest car with the high mounted door mirror.
If you just want a Testarossa, go Tamiya!
