VW Beetle 1303 kits

[stitchdup]

I've been looking through my vw stash tonight and it occured to me that I didn't have 1303. I've done a search and 3 kits popped up. Theres one from imai, one from italeri and another from aoshima. My question is which is the best kit. I know their all curbside and dont mind that as its just to fill a gap in my vws

As far as I remember, they are all the same kit, originally tooled by Imai. The best 1303 kit, in my opinion, is the 1:20 Bandai/Entex kit.

Thanks for that, since they're the same I'll get the cheapest one

Brace for disappointment impact...the kit is an unassembled motorized toy.

That wont be a problem mate, the tamiya bug chassis should fit and I have loads of nicer wheels than the ones pictured on the box
