I went to scalemates site. Kinetic didn’t have a review but HobbyBoss did. Here’s the link to one of the reviews...

http://www.hyperscale.com/2014/reviews/ ... ewmd_1.htm

There’s 5 reviews in all, including the one I linked you.

The Kinetic kit is from 2007. Same kit only decals were changed. Looks promising...

Four reviews on the 2007 Kinetic kit.

I’d go with the Kinetic kit. The office is better detailed as opposed to Hobby Boss which is dismal in detailing.

I have the original release of the Kinetic Thunderstreak in my stash. It is a nice looking kit. I can’t say how well it goes together though… But the exterior surface detail is very well done.

First of all, many thanks Tom for all those links to reviews! Awesome & appreciated!

A difficult decision, which one eventually will land on my bench.
Seems both have some pros and cons.

Need to think a little bit!

You’re welcome, Kari. I usually try to refer to scalemates for reviews if I have a dilemma between kit between kit brands.

Which again means, I can start to work with the seats and finalise the cockpit section "for good".

Awesome! That's the same I used for my Phantom. I couldn't find any in the states and had to order direct from the company in Czech republic took forever for them to arrive, at least four weeks. They are a lot easier compared to some of the other HGW belts I've built. Will be patiently waiting to see your finished seats and cockpit!
