It would be awesome if someone would compare Tamiya's Me-262 and Hobby Boss' one. I still think Tamiya's is the best one.

Tamiya's may still be the best but the Hobby Boss 262's look very nice in the box and are half the price and there's more variants! thanks Mike

I have mainly built Dml's version and have used some CMK's conversions. All I can say is that Tamyia's kit is slightly smaller dimensionally compared to Dragon's. To what degree I did not measure it out. To say who is more accurate I can not say. Hobby boss' kits look interesting. Will have to check one out.

I hear what people say about the 262, but what about the Mi2? From what I can see, it looks like a nice kit, but is there a build review of this, to see if it is accurate enough, at least? Personally, I'd like to see this in 1/48, but then, there are other Soviet helicopters I'd like to see in the lartger scale, but then again, there are still very few Soviet helicopters in pretty much any scale, which is something of a shame. An Mi8 in 1/48 would be just shy of totally awesome.

I have recently built a Tamiya Me 262 and a Me 262 from HobbyBoss, both are very good kits with no problem areas during construction, the Tamiya kit was slighly easier to assemble by a narrow margin but the HobbyBoss kit is cheaper to purchase. Matrixone
