Testors Porsche 917

[DrBob]

Does anyone know if the Testors Porsche 917K is the Heller kit or the Fujimi kit? I think it is a Heller kit, but it says "Parts made in Japan" and I would have thought Heller would be from France or England.
It is still shrink-wrapped or I could just look at the parts and tell pretty quickly.

The Fujimi kit is far too new for it to have ever been put in a Testors box.

I have the kit opened and it's clearly not the Fujimi kit. I think from looking at it and the Heller kit that the Testors kit is in fact the Heller Kit, also the same as the Union Kit. If not the same they are very similar down to the tires and how the back side of the tire inserts into the main body of the tire.

Nice kit though, with a lot of good detail but I understand it's difficult to assemble.

I have both of these kits opened and have compared them and from what I can tell they are exactly the same plastic molding in both.

Union = Heller = Testor's. Same goes for the Ferrari 512 kit. Both the 512 and 917 are pretty decent kits.
