It's been a few years since both the BBR and Tamiya 1/24 CLK-GTRs have been released.
How do they compare? Is the BBR release worth the extra price? The body is 1 piece and can't display
the engine bay.

In my opinion, there is no doubt = TAMIYA.
There way I see it, you get a whole engine bay detail, the kit practically builds itself, as it is so well engineered. Plastic is a lot easier and safer to work with than resin. To top it off, Tamiya's offering is a fraction of the price of BBR's.

Tamiya all the way. The BBR goes together alot quicker, but there is less parts by far.

How does the BBR photoetch compare with SMS releases?

I am not familiar with either of the p/e set for this particular kit, but from experience, I have found that BBR p/e is quite hard, often made from brass. The SMS p/e is normally thinner, which makes it more workable and more scale accurate.
