Well I am pretty sure that Revell did not know that SMS and LMM were going to collaborate either. I think that this is a kit that all companies know will sell well and be well received to all of us in the hobby. I for one like the car, although we don't see much about it here in Canada, and don't have a completely unlimited budget so the Revell kit will be for me.
I think Bill brings up some great points aswell. I have the C5-R and it is a pretty good rendition of the car. I am not a Corvette lover but I like the look of the C5-R so I bought the Revell kit and SMS photo-etch to make a build-up that I am satisfied with.
I guess it all boils down to
our personal tastes and opinions.
