Studio 27 or Scale Motor Sports

[Mike1357]

I just bought Tamiya's Ferrari F40 Monte Shell Kit and I wanted to make a very detailed model. I have been looking at photoetch parts lately and this would be my first time using photoetched parts on a car. I've been looking at my options and found two different photoetch kits for the F40. One is from Studio 27 and the other from Scale Motor Sports. Has anyone used them or similar kits from either company? Which is the better option. Are there any suggestions for a first time photoetch kit build? Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Generaly speaking, they both provide some nice upgrades for kits. Although I do not know about the F40,Scale Motorsports usually offers a bit more detailed sheet. It's really all about the types of upgrades you want to do to the kit. Check the photographs of the etched parts from each and see whats on them. Sometimes I buy the upgrades from multiple suppliers for the same kit. Each may have something I want to add that the other doesn't.

Good Luck

I'd go with the Scale Motorsports PE. They generaly have more detail then Studio 27 sheets. I found this out then I bought a Tamiya Silk Cut Jaguar kt from a friend and he included a Studio 27 PE sheet with the kit. There was not much on it and I ended up looking at and buying the Scale Motor PE as well as the Carbon Fibre decals from Strada Sports.
