niteowl7710 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I can't seem to find anyone who sells the "Japan Only" full engine version. I've e-mailed HLJ and they didn't have any info. I wish Aoshima offered just the full engine sprues as an upgrade for us. That gives us the option. HLJ sells the "Japan Only" version, it's the only one they sell.

samurai7 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Ok thanks J.... It looked like the box art for the Japanese Version was different from the HLJ...i thought that HLJ was the international version......I will order from HLJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) Yup. That's what I got from HLJ. Think the Japanese kit is number 7 in the plain white box, where the international version is number 8 in the mostly green Italian flag-bordered package. Bear in mind that the "full engine" is still simplified, about 12 pieces with no representation of the sump or transmission; probably drops in where the one-piece insert goes in the international one. The exhaust manifolds and valve covers uncompromised by draft angle are probably the big selling points. Even with its body sink marks and its limited use of sliding molds, it's still got a decisive edge over that other Aventador kit. Factor in the price advantage, and Brand X pretty well gets murdered here. Edited September 12, 2012 by Chuck Kourouklis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Will you be getting the HRE "Vintage" Wheels from FG Models?? Nope. I don't actually like those wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exotics_Builder Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 HLJ sells the "Japan Only" version, it's the only one they sell. That is the one I ordered from HLJ and the PE set was a separate item. There was no option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
