Which kit has the nicest 6.1 liter hemi?

Yes please. I haven't perused many of the modern car kits, so which kit has the nicest 6.1 liter hemi?

I believe the Revell 2009 Challenger has the best. I kind of remember some research by Bill Engwer (Ace Garageguy) with the other modern hemis being out of scale....?

Yes, the engine in the Revell 2009 Challenger is very nice. 

The engine in the Revell Magnum wagon is out of scale, too large. 

I haven't looked at any others, honestly, though I would assume the engines in the later Revell Challengers use at least most of the same tooling as the 2009 version.

I built the Revell Charger Police Car Edition a few years ago. It was all I could find at the time. The engine is actually the 5.7 Hemi, but with the engine cover it's hard to tell. I think the 6.1 in fact doesn't use an engine cover and the top of the induction system and the ignition are exposed. Most of these systems are in this kit in a basic form but with a little detailing you could make a very convincing 6.1 liter.

Thanks the Revell '09 Challenger is now on the bench.
