The Hobby Boss is more basic but for me acceptable to be cut apart . The canopy is not good, but I bought a vacu replacement. The Academy is good , engine exhausts are to be improved, builds without problems , has the 3 blade and 4 blades propellers. The Airfix is more detailed, with open panels for the machine guns. Dies require some adjustements to fit the fuselage with the wings. Has only the 4 blade propeller.
