Chieftain Mark 10, Meng or Takom?

[TopSmith]

Which way would you recommend? I like both companies so it is the accuracy/ engineering/fit I am interested in.

I’ve always had great luck with Meng-don’t know anything about these specific kits however.
A couple of guys were building the Meng version here and they seemed to enjoy it.

If you haven’t seen either of these threads they are worth looking at.

Meng 1/35th Chieftain Mk 10 Build

[Untitled-1] So here goes the build of Meng’s Chieftain Mk 10 and it starts with wheels stations. Each station needs to be marked as they are different and so I have marked the unit station on the rear so RA just stands for station A right side.

While both kits are good, the details on the Meng kit are generally better than those on the Takom kit. Accuracy wise, they are both very good. Haven’t built either, so can’t comment on the fit/build.
