Would like to hear your opinions on what is the best 1/32 scale F-117A kit? Thus far I've seen Testors and Italeri. The Testors kit run around $22.00 whereas the Italeri kit run around $50.00. What's the scope on these kits? Are there any others.

It is the same kit. Testors (US) and Italeri (Italy) are partners.

Try to check the provided images of the box. The one that looks better is better. Also weight the boxes. Heavier boxes have more parts.

That's a good "seat of the pants" approach, but in this case uneccesary. NimitzFan is right, they are the same kit.

As far as I know that's it. With the war going on, look for a new one or two, though. War is bad, but without it military modelers would need a new hobby. #:-)
