Is Tamiya the WORST??? Is Revell The WORST??? WHO KNOWS???? I wish I had switched collections!! 

Lots of gibberish about the appearance, but nothing about the easiness to build and the fitting of the parts. This video is a waste of time.

The fun part is that Revell kit was originally a Monogram mold.

The monogram now revell kits were the best 50 years ago. Tamiya kits are simply in another league. Almost perfect fit . Far more detail. The old kits are still fun. I like them both. But if i want an old kit , i would try to get a vintage kit. One produced in the 70' s or 80's. The molds were not so worn down. In your case i would use the extra Tamiya parts to improve the revell kit.

I've been building model kits for more than 50 years. When I started out in the early 1970`s Revell and Monogram were probably the best you could get. Airfix was not very good and Heller was the worst I ever built but did have some interesting aircraft & cars. I didn't discover Tamiya until 1980 and when I did I couldn't believe what I had been missing! So much detail and SO many parts. The problem was the price. Even then Tamiya was like twice or three times as much as a Revell and not easy to find. As I built up my skills over the years, I now find myself returning back to these Revell kits of yesteryear. Yeah, they don't have the hyper detail, and they have raised panel lines, poor fit, etc... But there really is something to sticking with these old kits and using your skill to pull off something really nice. Maybe it's the whole nostalgia thing, but I'm really enjoying the challenge and the reward. Go have fun with the Tamiya kits, hone your skills then go back and build an epic 1/48 Revell B-17`s or any of the the 1/32 Aircraft.

You talked about the Revell box art, do you have a list or do you know all the kits with thay type of art? I'd like to start acquiring them. They remind me of when I was younger

tamiya will always be better then revell. no clue what you're on.

Got to admit though both companies are failing with there instructions, should have full colour paint guides which most other do, even the smaller manufacturers.

I'm in the process of building a Revell P-61 Black Widow, I'm actually building a section one after having to trash the first one which was crap in fitting etc. Hoping this second one will go together better. Meanwhile I've built 2 Tamiya tanks that went together with alot less work and worry. I've ordered this same Tamiya F-4U kit. It should be arriving sometime this week.

Tamiya is better than revell dawg what is you on

Revell kits are great mate, Airfix these days are a LOT better however! Check out some of the new tool mouldings and decals. Tamiya seem to be regressing for some reason.

Revell is waste. In younger years i build a lot of them. My last was the SaturnV. And it was my last Revell at all! Hours and hours of grinding the edges... Was at least twice of the whole building-time! Tamiya it a lot better! More details, better fitting, and so on...

Great comparison.

Great video.

Thats comparing bananas with tomatoes....

I've only built one bad Tamiya kit (sea harrier) but I've built plenty of shite Revell kits.

Both are great manufacturers, but I prefer Revell kits. Thanx for sharing.

That revellogram kit was under a buck in the way back. Old molds

I generally don't like Tamiya kits: They have a lifeless feel to them that Monogram, and today Eduard, generally avoid. Tamiya accuracy is also not as great as claimed, except for this Corsair kit in particular, which is head and shoulders in accuracy above all other Tamiyas except their Me-109G and Ki-61. Best Eduard by far is the Spitfire range, best 70s Monogram by far is the old B-17G, which anihilates the recent HK in accuracy. Even the detail has more life to it in a metal finish...
