Β It would be interesting to see a comparison between the Heller (I believe it is actually the Airfix kit) the Hobbyboss and the Italeri kits. Anyone got these kits and willing to do a comparison? Β Cheers, Β Bill Indeed it is the Airfix kit from back when Heller used to own them, as for the colours, a mix but I checked them all before using them, dark blue is AK Interactive RAF PRU blue that proved too dark for that but perfect as you say for Aggressor Blue. Medium blue is the appropriate Xtracrylix Intermediate Blue, light blue is AK RLM65 1941 and the pale blue is humbrol 23. Anyway aside from a couple of touchs up underneaths its decal ready.Β Β 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalako Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 I have built the Airfix kit. It is a decent one and for anyone wishing to start with our hobby it is a good beginner's kit.
