Difference between 1:43 kit and models?

[rallying83]

Stumbled upon this tonight and was curious if anyone could explain it to me.

I am assuming this is a metal 1:43 kit that you build.

If so, 2nd question is what are the pros to going to route, rather than buying one from minichamps or Ixo? The overall quailty does look better (Though with the high price I would hope so!).

Thanks for any help. I collect 1:43 WRC models and usually go with Ixo or minichamps (or if I must Solido) but am always interested in new models.

Hi, It is a resin kit (not diecast)

Depends if you want to spend the time to build the models / paint / decal (and have the skill to make a good effort of it) or you just want a professionally made example to display/collect.

You can get both resin or diecast, depends on the company which make them.
If there better or not depends on who makes it and how good they are. If your great at making models and painting then go for it.

The new PMA kits are fantastic- beautiful moulds and v. nice photo etch. It can often be worth going for the extra cost of a built kit, especially when it is clear that the model will not be produced in diecast. If a base model is available you might just decide to go w/ the decals and code 3 the model up yourself
