My opinion doesn't change the kits' finishes. Realistically, one is better than the other. I was comparing the quality of one kit to another. Specifically, the Aoshima to Revell. IF the Revell was any better, I would have said so. But it is of poor quality finish. There are many other options in a similar price range, with much better quality of Revell's. But once again, the Revell soothsayers can't have their feelings hurt.
