The Hobbycraft kit has the best detail, but the Italeri has the better shape. The nose on the Hobbycraft bears no resemblence whatsoever to a real Bearcat. I built one with the kit nose and it looked wrong. I'm not sure if there is any aftermarket conversion available but you can take the cowling off the Italeri and make it fit the Hobbycraft with no major problems. Other than that the Hobbycraft is a gem, great fit and detail, very easy to build. Hope this helps

Oh, geat cross-kitting idea!

The two kits are dirt-cheap, so I'll do just that...
