Which C119 to keep?

[papaof2]

Just received two C119 Flying Boxcars. Testors #675 and Italeri #146. Any thoughts on which to keep?

Thanks

Kitbashem together into an extended fuselage , 4 engine , quad-boom -- then sling some massive anti-ship torpedoes beneath each twin boom .

Why can't you keep both ?

I may if Old Model Kits doesn't want them.

Italeri kits are not the greatest. I did an F-16 Viper kit and he belly tank was too large for 1/72 scale. Couldn’t even install the main gear doors in open position properly.

I'd bet they're the same kit under the covers - Testors & Italeri had a long partnership.
