Re Kyosho models
I picked up both the 4/4 and the +4 SS. Both use the same floorpan (the
4/4's) and it seems the same engine except for the valve cover and webers.
Other details are superb. Don't know why they would have scrimped on the
engine/exhaust detail as they also make a TR3 that would have at least some
of the correct tooling. Price of these in Canada is about C$100.
