    Fujimi by miles! But Revell have repackaged the odd Fujimi model in the past in 1/16 scale - Koenig TR is one of those.

    I agree, Fujimi is usually a lot better than Revell. Your best option is old Hasegawa kit though. It has very nice details and a lot better fit than Fujimi. It has an engine also.

    Revell at one time re-packaged an excellent Ford GT kit that had been originated by Fujimi. They have also re-packaged some Protar large-scale kits, and aircraft kits from a number of sources, including Italeri and Hasegawa! With all the sharing of molds nowadays, you need a scorecard!

    Really you mean neither one has and engine?I thought that was half the fun.I enjoy the complexity of the modell.I'm trying to copy my car wich has 355 wheels.I have some wheels from a metal Maisto kit I hope they work Any way thanks for your input.

    Actualy i am not familiar with the revell 348, but Fujimi kit is a curbside, so no engine in that one.

    I think that Revell AG repackaged the Italeri 348 , so there is an engine in that one. The body is multipiece though. Seperate bumpers and the sides including the strakes are seperate- and a bit fiddly
