F111Fan Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 What are the major differences between the Matchbox kit and the Revell re-pop? I imagine the panel lines but anything else? Thanks in advance!
AnonymousFO98 Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Box art, instructions, colour callout and decals are about it afaik panel lines are as you were
stuartp Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Yep, both mouldings are the same, except the Revell one is all the same colour.
F111Fan Posted February 7, 2010 Author Posted February 7, 2010 Cheers for the fast reply! just cause evil-bay has some Matchbox ones cheaper than revell ones. No money at the moment, tho!

gcds Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 The revell sheet is better but the originals are very good also. There is no change to the mouldings The Revell re-pop is on sale in Modelzone (Reading) for £7.99. Got one this morning.
Tabio Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 The Revell re-pop is on sale in Modelzone (Reading) for £7.99. Got one this morning. I'd get a Revell one, the plastic's a lot better to work with than the Matchbox one, the green is especially strange!
pigsty Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 I'd get a Revell one, the plastic's a lot better to work with than the Matchbox one, the green is especially strange! Also it will have all the wheels. I once went through an entire shop's stock of Matchbox Victors looking for one that wasn't missing the same single mainwheel - and failed. OK, it was Trago Mills, but still, someone in Matchbox quality control was having an off day when that batch left the factory. And they must have checked the kits, seaparated out the duff ones, and still sold them en masse for retail instead of recycling them. Oh, the good old days, eh?

Just try not to get one of the Chinese mouldings - very strange to work with - greasy, brittle plastic and decals that fall apart in the water! C
