Well, these two are not going to win any shows. The one on the left is the BPK Challenger.  Apart from the landing gear its not that bad of a kit. Comes with a complete interior, however the clear parts are rather thick and you can not see any of the interior details. It uses J-Bot decals. The decals are most helpful as they contain replacement windows. A good thing as the clear parts , as mentioned are not that clear.

The other is the Leading Edge resin model. No interior, and not a bad kit. I think I just screwed it up. Either something does not fit right or I just did not sand it enough. Believe me, this guy got a LOT of sanding. Three tare sons and re-assembles. Still, it looks off to me. 

The Leading Edge decals however are as good as always and hide some of my mistakes.
