Zark, Thank you for the explanation. You are right about the price differences on the two kits. I always found the plastic in the Hasegawa kits to be much more brittle than the Academy product which has some resiliency to it.

I always found the plastic in the Hasegawa kits to be much more brittle than the Academy product which has some resiliency to it.I actually sold my Academy F-22 and bought the better hasegawa kit, because the price on the 'gawa kit dropped big time and you can snag one for about $30 now, though it originally retailed for something like $90!! So in some cases its actually cheaper than the academy kit. I basically sold my academy raptor for 30 and bought a hasegawa for 30:http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/390833088610?lpid=82http://www.amazon.com/Hasegawa-48-F-22-Raptor-USAF/dp/B0038JCAKI HTH
