1/72: Best F-51D

I recently visited a shop that had 1/72 scale Korean War F-51Ds by Italeri, Tamiya and Academy. Which is the best kit?

Thanks

I, too would second the motion by the gentleman from Little Rock. (Al).

The Tamiya kit is by far the better of the bunch. The only thing it really needs is to have the flaps dropped.
