as far as looks go, that's all on you.
Best response here^^^!
The looks of each kit are totally subjective and really can not be debated in any form of rational manner but the quality of parts and the workmanship involved in doing things right can make or break either kit. The only RB I saw in real life looked like it was thrown on by a one eyed, drunken, carpenter and ones like that can give a whole line a bad rep. Without dedicating the time and money to finish them properly they are going to look bad and continue to give them a bad rep.
