I have ordered the blue Alpine 110 1600S after considering other options, including Kyosho. Even though or perhaps because the Norev is a sealed body design, it captures the silhouette nicely. The Kyosho has panel gaps and especially the chrome hinge mechanism looks a bit crude. Plus the Norev is the earlier version with the chrome applications along its side.
