Back to the Furture DeLorean, Polar Lights or Aoshima?

[Oldmopars]

So, I am looking to build a Back to the future car, what kit is better, or are they the same? The box art on both kits are just pictures from the movie. Price is close so that is not a factor. I just want the best kit and not end up buying 2 kits just to get it right.

There's also the AMT versions which may be repackaged Aoshima but I don't honestly know

Aoshima and dont look back.

AMT and Aoshima are the same. Was there ever a Stock Delorean kit produced ? I have two of the Aoshimas and one AMT and was thinking about building one for a "Sports Car" challenge build.

That's what I was thinking. May have to build a back before the future Delorean . Researching a stock car as we speak

Here's one guy's opinion, found at random on the internet:  the 1/24 Aoshima is better than the 1/25 Polar Lights just because of the detailed decals.

But there was a resin conversion by AAM.

Ok.

Thank you, this helps. I hate to buy a kit and then find out is is BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH and have to go buy another.

This has happened to me before with the Daisy Duke Jeep, its a CJ5 not a CJ7 and with Chevy tow truck kit that was so bad I can't salvage anything out of it.

I just finished the polar Lights version.  very simplified snap kit.

I got the PL kit in my massive backlog. Since I used its time machine parts on a "custom what if" using a Monogram Fiero GT a while back, I will attempt to turn the Delorean into a stock mild custom or similar.
