Initially you might think it's a bit unfair to compare the two kits because the Eduard 1:48 Dora is so much more expensive. This isn't the case in reality, however, because Eduard do a very smart thing indeed by producing the 'Weekend Edition' version for the princely sum of just £12.80! With that in mind, let's look at the newcomer from the Far East. It comes in the HobbyBoss standard small box that is sturdy and covered in some decent art. The sprues inside are very cleanly moulded in light grey plastic, without a hint of flash and only tiny mould lines. The transparent parts are very clear as always, and you get a single tiny etched fret with just four parts on it but no seat belts. The sprue breakdown is typical of mouldings where multiple versions of things are going to be made so look out for more in this family soon. You also get two sprues of weapons and tanks, including the under-wing ETC50 racks for the 50kg bombs. The instruction sheet is brilliantly drawn, as all HobbyBoss sheets have been, and you get two versions on the decal sheet and full colour, four-view painting guides.
