Nate Posted January 3, 2012 Posted January 3, 2012 What's the word on the street regarding the new Revell 458 Italia kit? I haven't heard anything about its quality. Is it better than the Fujimi (or is it Aoshima?) kit. Does it suffer from the same stupid tire issues that have been plaguing some of the newer Revell offerings? Would it make a decent Box Stock type build, or does it not look sexy when completed?
jaydar Posted January 4, 2012 Posted January 4, 2012 I have read reviews that say it is best ferrari by revell so far. The only downer is wheel and tire combo. Wheel to small and tire to high. So for a set of 20" rims and narrow sidewalls you have a very good kit. joe.
majel Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 Has anyone built the new Revell Ferrari 458 yet? I just picked up the kit after reading the review in November's MCM, and was impressed that everything was packaged separately in plastic bags. I also ordered the Hobby Design photoetch detail set, haven't gotten it yet. Looking forward to finally building something this year. If anyone has built it yet I would appreciate input or tips.
martinfan5 Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 (edited) I built one of the revell 458 kits last year, not a bad kit, I just wish I did a better job on mine. I want to say the tires are not the right size for the car, but not 100% on that one, but I know someone on here knows if thats true or not, I want to say I read that on here somewhere Edited January 17, 2012 by martinfan5
Tonioseven Posted January 18, 2012 Posted January 18, 2012 I have this kit and the metal transfers from Hobby Design. I might get around to it this year. Mine won't have the stock wheels & tires on it.
