| I agree with Wojtek. I'm currently finishing Italeri's H6 and to be honest it does show its age.

| I also think the Revell kit is a re-boxed Italeri, possibly with some re-tooling, and also, as Wurger has shown, very good decals. At the time of issue, the Italeri kit was the best 1/72nd Heinkel III available. |

| That's probably because of the limited decals, and I do think that Revell have corrected a couple of small errors, and improved other areas. I have a magazine article about this somewhere, from 2 or 3 years ago, maybe more. |

| In defense of the Italeri kit (which I built in the '70s), it comes with figures that are absolutely the best I've ever seen in 1/72 scale. |
