Re: Revell Ferrari 458 Italia (view inside the box)

Thank you very much for the little review.

Judging from the pictures there are plenty of positivies - the interior is probably the biggest.

The brakes are exactly like they were on the test shots and are, predictably, beyond disappointing. What really gets me is that sometimes Revell get them spot on, but sometimes we get the toyish silliness (this and the Superamerica come to mind). Even their friggin' boxart shows accurate brake discs...

The two-part wheels are not a deal-breaker but again it seems just silly that Revell would continue with these - the "Japanese" way not only works better but actually seems easier to produce. Oh well.

I was also hoping for separate parts for the mesh areas near the tail lights but alas. At the end of the day in order to get a good model one again has to combine the two kits on the market, I'd say.

Knowing you I assume you have already started the kit?
