	As far as I know Monogram and Testors are the only guys that make
readily available kits.  Testors' kit was released a little too early, I think.
The nose section by the FLIR port is not done right (although lots better than
their 1/32 kit), and the kit does not include a prominent shelf in front of the
intakes.  The landing gear is comparable on both kits, as are the cockpits.
If you want to build a nice looking Nighthawk, get both kits.  There are
advantages and disadvantages to both.
