Tuff question as beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

and....

Who's to say whats exactly original and whats not, given the differences of the originals.

I like the RMC because it has whats attractive to me....there are very fine details I notice between kits which are impossible to explain but easy to see when two cars are sitting side by side and those details are pointed out.

That means, I like the RMC, the Harrison, and the G-force. All similiar bodies.

What I don't like about the RMC was the longer narrower scoop. Thats been replaced on mine with a copy of the original scoop. That has been corrected on the other two similiar bodies.

Mine came with the le-mans filler well in the wrong place..now relocated further back to where it should be.

Things I would change include cutting off the chassis forward of the front suspension mountings to enable the installation of a radiator which is more upright or leaning back at the top rather than leaning forward at about a 45 degree angle.

Moulding a recess into the front right inner wheel well for the power brake booster rather than have the booster exposed behind the front wheel and also cutting the tops of the footboxes for the wider 351 allowing more room to get the left back spark plugs out.

Mind you, most of these modifications have been made to the harrison and the new body for the g-force so my above comments are only relative to an older RMC.

Having said all that....The RMC has a shape which appeals to me from all angles.

EDIT: I dont agree with the Blond suggestion.....I really couldn't care what colour her hair is/was.
