AMTERTL or Revellogram Eclipse?

[rsxse240]

So I am thinking about getting an Eclipse kit.  The AMT and Revell are the same scale, both have the F&F "Brian's Eclipse" markings but Revell also has a 2-N-1 that has a different body kit.  I am curious if the Revell kit has stock parts or just optional tuner parts.

 

How do they all compare?  I've messed with the AMT kit in the past, wasn't very fond of it, but that was before I realized that I liked the Eclipse and I never really even looked into the box before I traded it.

I guess I can't post pics from Google.

I have both kits and chose the Revell kit after looking over both. Simple problem free build.

Is that the same kit just before and after decals?

nThe engine in the AMT kit is an absolute horror. Turbocharger on one side of the engine, exhaust manifold on the other side and they're not connected! Better as a curbside or a parts donor kit.

Is the Revell engine a decent offering or just a top half, die cast style?  Could it be used in a Galant or Evo with relative accuracy?
