Default Anyone has Revell 1:18 TT Roadster? How detail does it compare to Maisto?

I want to buy a die-cast 1:18 TT Roadster..I saw someone here posting a series of Maisto TT Roadster photos and it's quite detailed..

Since the Revell model is much more expensive than the Maisto one, I want to know how detail with it or I should just go for Maisto model?

Default I'm looking for a Nimbus Grey TTR by Maisto that can ship to Canada and

can bypass the custom and duty tax.

Default The revell is a 180 FWD model, the Maisto is a 225...

They are similarly detailed. The Revell comes with a plastic top(!), but the Maisto takes the detal level higher than the Revell.
The interior is detailed better on the Maisto, it has the radio antenna, and the tonneau cover is detailed better.

Default ic...Jeff..One more question for you..

as I saw you post some photos about your newly installed roadster headliner, will you make your own installation page on your homepage for the headliner as well? Because your pages are great and it'll be far better than the headliner's installation manual where you can provide tips on installation.

Default ah...probably not. I have some pics I can send you on this, but frankly,...

I couldn't improve *that* much on the install process, without taking the whole thing off, and start over, taking pictures along the way.
I really don't want to do that. The real key to the headliner install, is getting the plastic cover to the top where the top handle is, out of the way.
If there were an easy way to remove this handle, the install would be much easier.
