Paul H Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 is there anything here that would lead one to prefer this release vs the tamiya? maybe just some model-specific differences but anything else? I've been wondering that too - from what I've seen of the Revell in various photos & reviews online, whilst there appear to be some aspects that are better (e.g a fully separate rear subframe, seats & dash), there are others where I think that the Tamiya is superior (e.g. engine bay detailing especially the ancillaries on the bulkhead, & more accurate depth to the front door pockets). Given the size similarities, would be interesting to see if the two can be combined to make a really good version! In the meantime, I'll be sticking with Tamiya (if only because I have a couple already...), but if Revell were to release a Countryman / Traveller version, or (even better imho) an Elf variant, then I'd definitely buy those!

randx0 Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I wonder what other variants Revell had planned and if we'll ever see them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They released a Monte Carlo rally version, which is pretty hard to find, but I'm hoping they release more Mini kits in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it just a revell Germany release or did revell US get it too ? I think I was waiting for the US release . Either way I think I'll hunt one down .
