Overdrive vs. Windcharger: A comparison

Found this at TFW 2005:

Note the glaring color differences between the painted metal and the flat parts on Overdrive.

Go Takara! Flush all that quality control bulljive down the toilet already!

So, basically, the only way it's better than the US release is the addition of the gun barrel? The mismatched colors are way worse than having to pay $8 to get a replacement gun barrel.

The Takara version also has corrected paint apps on the front grille and a better visor.

Left-hand vs. right-hand steering wheel should be personal preference.

The difference of the paint between the plastic and metal parts is a dead spot-on...

Windcharger has a much better visor. It's like comparing the visors of meister and red meister.

However, I'd still buy Overdrive over Windcharger everyday :D
