One is the old Gunze Hi-tech kit and another is the more recent resin Scale Motorsports kit. The most recent is by Model Factory Hiro. Maybe they'll do one to go with their 1/12 427 Cobra... Carl Harold Bradford of Historic Racing Miniatures makes the best Daytona Coupe in 1/24th scale. It is lightyears ahead of anything that SMS, MFH, and Gunze ever offered.

Back on topic, are there any glaring issues with the Trumpeter version as it's 1/4 the price of the Meng kit. Link to post Share on other sites

Harold sells them direct. If you would like his info, just PM me. Sometimes Model Builder's Warehouse gets them in, too. As for the Trumpeter kit, I can't remember them all but the area under the front bonnet is not very detailed and there are some dimensional issues. It was a good start for the KA detail set. If Meng's kit is nice detailed and only needs the basic items, it will be worth the difference in price at least to me. BloorwestSiR 1 Link to post Share on other sites

chrish 4,524 Posted 17 hours ago Share Posted 17 hours ago I like the factory 5 kit.... but it’s 17,000 Out2gtcha and BloorwestSiR 2 Link to post Share on other sites

And even then you still need an engine/trans/rear end/wheels/tires. Still even then, if I had the money and space to assemble one, I'd get it Link to post Share on other sites

The client kept upgrading different parts so it took much longer (install, take apart, rebuild, re-install) and doubled the price! beautiful car when done, took many awards in Canadian car shows (not because of anything I did) just a really nice car!
