Hi everyone,
Hobbyboss Boxer MRAV or Revell GTK Boxer GTFz
I think it is hard to decide, IMHO Hobbyboss kit is better detailed but the Revell one is more realistic (production model).
Which Boxer do you choose and why? Which one is better detailed and accurate??

I have bought both these kits primarily as a source of information for a larger r/c model. Here are three topics on the differences between the Hobbyboss and the Revell kits:-
1. The Hobbyboss model has serious issues with the steering mechanism. The Hobbyboss steering gear is simply attached to the roof of the front wheel wells (!) whereas the Revell model shows the complete steering mechanism.
2. Underneath, the Revell model shows all the transmission drive shafts well protected against mines and rocky terrain but the Hobbyboss model shows it all exposed and looks like guesswork.
3. The Revell model depicts the removeable module just like the real thing thus making it easier for the modeller to make their own alternative modules or to cater for other companies to make alternative kit modules to fit.
