Pros 

Excellent instruction and decal sheet, Crisply molded crystal clear transparent parts, well detailed engine and interior.

Cons 

Body had a moderate amount of flash and some mold lines that were difficult to remove without altering the shape of the body, engine hatch has trouble fitting flush, the quality of the chrome was somewhat poor, grilles represented by decals instead of screen mesh.

Comments 

With this one, Revell has done another excellent Ferrari model that will make a great showpiece in any sportscar builders display case. Like all kits do, it has it's faults, but they're nothing that any modeler with average skills couldn't deal with. Once you build one, I garuntee you will want to build several more.
