Both Italeri and Trumpeter both make 20 ft containers. Which one is the better of the two.

Thanks

In my opinion, Trumpeter's is a better design. Italeri's has a weird, zig-zag joint in the middle of the container.

Italeri Review

One comment on the review though. Seb says, "The locking system is nicely done but Italeri messed up the handles direction since they should be symmetrical." This is not really correct. Containers come with both symmetrical and offset handles, so either is correct, it depends on the manufacturer.

As examples.




I don't think either can be built with the doors correctly displayed open.
