Need some Help!

To replace a die-cast model of the Ferrari 250 SWB #14 LM 1961 for a handbuilt model I am doubting between two manufacturers:

MG-Model or Remember.

On pictures both seems to be good. But MG-Model is a bit more expensive than the Remember.

So maybe some one of the forum members can advice me?

They are exactly the same model, without any changements. Same kit, same builders, only a different brand.

May I add something more: actually the model has been mastered and moulded by Madyero (a Remember sub-brand), who also produced the Series I version. Some of the most popular versions (for the moment only the Le Mans ones) have been contracted to MG Model, that are selling them under their brands. MG Models are more expensive as they have an official Ferrari licence. Special built SWB's are also around, with different liveries and Remember/Madyero boxes. I hope this helps.

to final the topic, may i add that it is also a big part of how busy they were the day they built the model, how many they had to make, and who was making it. also, how much time they had. especially with MG model, some can be perfect, where some are horrible of the exact same model.

There are never quality issues with the SWB's as the builder is always Madyero - no subcontractors.
