Ghostrider, have you ever built the Hasegawa version?

Just looking at the seats and cockpit, is appears the Academy molding is a bit soft compared to the Hasegawa.

What are your thoughts over the overall kit? Any noticeable fit of seam issues with the fuselage? The Hase kit has a bit of a step seem in front of the horizontal stabilizers between the upper and lower halves, anything with this one?

I haven't actually built the Hasegawa kit, though I have heard great things about it. And there is a pretty major gap in front of both the wings, I tried to push them together, but it wouldn't go. Time for some putty!
