Would you
identify which model is Eduard's and which is HobbyBoss? Upon a
superficial glance the models are identical and also with respect to much
of the parts' breakdown. However, Eduard's model supersedes the respective
HobbyBoss Mirage in the quality of moulding and engineering of the frontal
part of the fuselage. Specifically, as evident from the photograph, I had
a lot of problem with the fit of the windscreen and intake area. Nonetheless, I already fixed the design error with two other HobbyBoss
Mirages on the pipeline.
Bottom line,
if you plan to build only one Mirage, then Eduard's kit is the best option.
If however, you are a Mirage fan (and probably bought already the Eduard
kit), then HobbyBoss provides a cheap and satisfying alternative that
allows you to expand your collection of this classic fighter plane without
fussing about finding a rare kit for a ridiculous price.
