I got in the T29(E1) the other day and the detail was well...lacking on it vs the Takom kits. Wonder what they improved on it.

So it would seem that the Takom offering might be better as a purchase. Engineering and detail are what it's largely about when it comes to kits, and either it has it or it doesn't.
