Looks like I will need to purchase this one for comparison against Trumpeter's.

The cargo compartment for the Zvezda kit is more detailed and there are engines and transmission for the Zvezda kit. However, the cockpit is more detailed in the Trumpeter kit and the Trumpeter kit also has the machine guns lacking in the Zvezda kit. Then again, the pricing difference (S$65.90 for the Zvezda kit vs S$83.90 for the Trumpeter kit) may be a factor.

I have this one to and i agree with what you say. Biggest drawback for the Zvezda kits however is that the winch, clearly visible on the boxart, isn't included in the kit.

Now that you mention it, the Zvezda kit also lacks the side mirrors seen in the boxart. Strangely, the Trumpeter kit has both the winch and the side mirrors, the latter already present in the 1/35 kit.

Real shame this doesn’t include a winch. Especially since it’s shown on the box art and present on 99% of airframes including at least two of the decal options in the kit.
