Tamiya left; Airfix right. I finally used Eduard PE for tamiya cockpit, so no totally fair comparison.

It took me more than 2 years but finally here it is.
After building both Tamiya and Airfix kits at the same time I can say that I prefer the tamiya kit.
Airfix has more detail in some areas, but the overall quality of the moulding and detail is way better in tamiya.
