- As far as I know Monogram and Testors are the only guys that make
- readily available kits. Testors' kit was released a little too early, I think.
- The nose section by the FLIR port is not done right (although lots better than
- their 1/32 kit), and the kit does not include a prominent shelf in front of the
- intakes. The landing gear is comparable on both kits, as are the cockpits.
- If you want to build a nice looking Nighthawk, get both kits. There are
- advantages and disadvantages to both.
