Paul H Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 is there anything here that would lead one to prefer this release vs the tamiya? maybe just some model-specific differences but anything else? I've been wondering that too - from what I've seen of the Revell in various photos & reviews online, whilst there appear to be some aspects that are better (e.g a fully separate rear subframe, seats & dash), there are others where I think that the Tamiya is superior (e.g. engine bay detailing especially the ancillaries on the bulkhead, & more accurate depth to the front door pockets). Given the size similarities, would be interesting to see if the two can be combined to make a really good version! In the meantime, I'll be sticking with Tamiya (if only because I have a couple already...), but if Revell were to release a Countryman / Traveller version, or (even better imho) an Elf variant, then I'd definitely buy those!
randx0 Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 I wonder what other variants Revell had planned and if we'll ever see them .

Was it just a revell Germany release or did revell US get it too ? I think I was waiting for the US release . Either way I think I'll hunt one down .
