Which model?

Ok I dropped by Japantown in San Francisco today to get a can of Tamiya Surface Primer, and the owner of the shop told me that there's gonna be a model contest during the Cherry Blossom festival. So, it's time to take out my secret weapon, but I have 2 of them and can't decide which one should be shown to hundreds of ppl.


The one closest is the MP4/7 and the one next to it is the MP4/5B

Can you please upload the file. All I can see is a 'Image Hosted by tripod' logo.

Doesn't the MP4/5B come with a fully removable body?

The 5B because it has exposed carbon on the side, makes it a bit more intersting.
