I currently have two A-1H kits, Monogram and Esci. Has anyone built these kits and which one is better, both from an accuacy, look and fit standpoint? Thanks in advance and any help is appreciated.

Of the two listed, the Monogram kit is better. The best is the Tamiya kit.

i built the mono years ago and i believe i remember it being gappy and the landing gear sucked.
Hey Dave, I fixed your post.
Either the Monogram or the Esci will give you an enjoyable build, and the Esci is a AD-4 out of the box, no matter what they say on the outside. I have a spare Monogram cockpit that will dress up the Esci kit's rather bare interior if you wnat it...
Thanks for the offer Jeff, I'll just build the Monogram kit. I usually build in 1/72 but just wanted to do the odd 1/48 kit. I'm a big skyraider fan anyhow.
appreciated.
