Many years before Exoto released their Juan Fangio #22 Alfa Romeo 159, I bought a Revival mixed media model kit and detailed it the best I could at the time. I won't go through all the mods and details I put into this, but obviously the Exoto model is superior in parts count. I never bought the Exoto because I didn't want to retire my little creation. It is however 1/20 scale but still blends in OK with the Ferrari F500 F2 of similar vintage. It just makes Juan Fangio look a bit taller.

Looks damn nice Rich despite that "wacko"  scale.  😀 😀 😀   1/20 just never caught on.  A friend purchased all those Revell 1/20 Creative Masters cars but ultimately replaced them with better 1/18 examples.

It's easy to see why you're reluctant to replace yours....  it holds up very well! 😎 😎

I have built a few of these Revival models. I loved them at the time and did not mind the 1/20 scale. You did an amazing job on yours.
