Porsche 959. Tamiya or Academy?

[LL3 Model Worx]

Wich makes the better kit of the 959, Tamiya or Academy?

I have no experience with either but I need a 959 to build... trying to pick the better option.

Thanks for all advice in advance.

Tamiya 24065 is a far better and more detailed version. Check out the assembly instructions HERE.

I've never seen an Academy, but based on the Ferrari 250LM, I wouldn't.  I've also built the Tamiya in 3 versions, just search and see that others have too, think that's all I can add.

My vote is for Tamiya. I think the Academy is a reboxed Gunze. They've reboxed Italeri stuff too, like the 250 Cal Spider, but other than the wheels this looks like Gunze.

I ordered the Tamiya kit yesterday. Seemed to be the consensus it was the better option.

Thanks for the input and Happy new year!
