Since my Porsche collection is starting to fill up I've begun to look at some Ferrari kits.

What's the difference between these GTO kits? Do all have engine? Wich has most accurate body shape? etc..

1. Old & expensive Fujimi Enthusiast

Revell (re-issued Italeri) isn't bad but the best is the Entusiast Model

Yes, read the previous thread shown above.

I'm happy w/the Italeri which is the "new" Revell kit. Don't bother w/an "old" Fujimi, the new version is the same; so if you decide on Fujimi get whatever is cheapest. They all have engines.

If you want a perfect, but fiddly, high-detail kit that will take you many, many hours to complete (or months/years...if ever), get Fujimi. It's one of those kits that won't go together in anything near a weekend or two.

If you want a fun kit to build that doesn't require nearly that much dedication and time, get the Revell.
