According to previous ICM/Revell releases, Revell's was always several dollars cheaper, which makes it an attractive buy. But how does this kit measure up to the Trumpeter version, which I found was maybe Trumpeter's best ever kit - sharp detail, great fit, etc.? Or is it again the same mould?

Trumpeter kit. BTW, Trumpeter has three types of conning towers for slightly different versions.
