Is it Revell US or Revell of Germany? The reason I ask is that the US Revell kit retails for about that. If it's RoG, I'm interested.

The US Revell kit goes for $99. You can get them at hobby lobby for around $60 with their 40% coupon.

What is the differance between these two kits?


Generally the RoG kits have better detailing. I can't say in this case, but have built a RoG BF110G and a US one. The RoG had sharper lines. To a certain extent, you are "stuck" with whatever the original design and molding was like, but the RoG Gato goes for $130-$175 retail, while the US version is usually easy to find for $60.

Unless it's the RoG kit, it's all right. I am looking for it and would snap it up at your price.
