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!

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?
