The main are where Italeri wins are the wheels: they are correct size and have a center hub as separate element, which makes it 1000 times easier to paint. The seats look slightly better to me (but not the headrests!!!). Also under the air intake in engine compartment there is supposed to be large plate, which is missing in Tamiya kit. I also feel that Italeri's body looks a bit nicer, especially panel lines. But again, Tami is better in many areas, especially tyres, which are beautifull. Italeri's tyres are absolutely useless. So I guess it's best to make one model from two kits
