Looks like a nice 1/20th kit mostly metal
My all time favorite car and even in NART colours!
If only I could afford it  |

Looks fantastic, and in the perfect scale to my other Formula cars. Unfortunately, if it's prices like the rest of the Revival cars, it's well over $250. And like most of us, way out of my price range.

Revival does have a store, see their website, and you can buy it direct, they show it at 159. euro or about $180 usd. ( today's exchange rate ) plus shipping from Italy. I did buy something direct years back and although it took a while to show up I did save a bunch of bucks... Chris

$273.00 Canadian including shipping for me. For me its the Holy Grail, but I just cant justify that kind of money.

Just ran it again 196.88 including shipping to me in AZ. Not a bad price. I remembered I bought a metal engine from them for a display project.. Good service. Chris

No I am not buying one, I cant afford it right now either, I was just checking it out and remembered dealing with Revival direct as being a pleasant experience Chris

Chris,
Didn't think so. But I was hoping that you won the local lottery and was treating yourself to one.

Well, as an admitted knowledge of the "Aero" chassis type 158 (I have built 1/24 examples and still in a struggle with my 1/12 example.) I like to say that the tyres seem a bit too wide. The blue paints are off color for the wheels and body. The nose side scoops are, well, poorly cut out for 1/20. O'all an okay kit abet heavy detail with many corrections to be done in 1/20 scale. I'll stick to my 1/24 Cox bodies.

I have a 1/12 scale 12 cylinder version that Bandai made, poor tires & wheels, clunky detail on the motor and transmission, and motorized as well! Want one?
