1:48 Su-22 Fitter kits, KHM or Eduard?

[LSP_K2]

A couple of questions: Which is considered to be the better 1:48 scale Su-22 kit, Kitty Hawk or Eduard?

 

Also, did KHM do more than one version of the Fitter?

 

Thanks a bunch,

Eduard is old KP plastic. Are you ruling out HobbyBoss?

Of these two, I´ll say KH, the Eduard kit is the old Kopro/OEZ plastic from 1995 with some etched parts and a few resin parts.

 

The KH kit is good but have some strange build-sequences and several "forgotten" parts in the instructions.

 

But an moderatley experienced builder should have no problems with It as the fit overall is quite good.

 

The HB kit I can´t say so much about, but it is supposed to have some quite serious shape problems around the cockpit, fit should be as good as any HB kit.

 

Kitty Hawk did several versions;

No. I hadn't been aware they ever did one. Thanks.

The KH one is supposed to be the best Fitter, but has a few quirks behind it.
