The Italeri kit reviewed here was originally issued by ESCI and is a different kit to Italeri’s own C-47, which is of similar vintage, I think. The poseable flaps are a disinguishing feature of the ESCI C-47. All, including the Airfix one, are acceptable, in my view, and each has its pros and cons.

My source was Scalemates for the dates and if that's accurate then you're spot on. The Airfix one looks really good apart from the faux pas with the engines!

The airfix one goes together really well, my only complaint is the cockpit screen is very brittle, mine had actually snapped on the sprue, and even though its a current kit ,they don't have spares....same as the swift I've got...no clear parts

That's a great heads up! Super annoying for you. Hopefully forewarned is forearmed and I'll be able to keep it in one piece. I'm going to build the Italeri one first and save the Airfix one for later.

I´m surprised that the newer Airfix kit is so disappointing, especially the engines are badly in need of a decent replacement. Many kits from the 1960s have better detailed ones, this makes absolutely no sense. Also the surface panel lines look like trenches and are less detailed and it has only half the decal options of the Italeri one. Still not a bad kit, the overall construction process seems to be very well thought out. I already have this kit, but now I think I need to get my hands on the Italeri one.

I was so surprised to see those engines! Thankfully I didn't break the bank with the Airfix one and only got it because it's the one I flew in. I already has the Italeri one and, after comparing them, I'll definitely be building the Italeri one first!
