Any suggestions on which kit is better; has Tamiya's tooling been updated or is the Revell kit a better buy?

The old Revellogram kit has the best shapes, but it's not up to modern fit and production fidelity. The Hobby Boss will have the most drama-free build. Either one will leave you with a good model on your shelf

Mark,
Just about every 1/48 scale A10 build I've seen on the sites I regularly visit are the Hobby Boss kit. It has it's issues, but it's still the best of the current crop of kits.
