If you can get the Heller kit, try it out. I think it's better than the Airfix.

a fast aeroplane to fly,
and something to shoot at?"

I built the Airfix version about a year ago. Dont expect a ton of details but it did have seperate control surfaces. Neat subject too. The canopy is very thick (6-8 inches if you scale it up) and cockpit detail is pretty sparse. It DID have the best fit of any of my Airfix models. Has a mixture of recessed and raised panel lines. Good subject for some scratchbuilding.

Can't comment on the other manufacturers. Sorry.
