The Pegasus kit looks good when done but is very limited run and a lot of work.

The Airfic kit looks good enough when done but the more recent issues of it have utterly useless wings - I have 2 with wings so thin you can't sand the ribs down without going through them, and short shot all the way along all the trailing edges. It depends on the time you want to spend, but making new wings is fairly easy if you have some vac blanks from Rosemont (out of production), and not too hard from plastic sheet.

The Mac kit is semi - limited run and good. Builds much easier than Prgasus.  The only problem IIRC is the thick trailing edges, and if it's to hang from the ceiling I'd just sand away and not worry too much about replacing detail.



Just jumping in before Neil Spaddy Crawford does.
