George, reread that article for ya. (by David Francis, Scale Aviation Modeller, Vol.7 Issue 9, Sep 2001)
These are the main points/ problem areas noted:
-minimal moulded detail in cockpit, ejection seat a bit basic
-intakes correct but tricky to paint
-nose wheel bay needs careful alignment, fit is awkward
-nose looks too rounded and requires a little filler as larger than fueslage to which it is attached
-attachment points for underwing stores must be opened before cementing wing halves
-main u/c legs need slight trimming to sit correctly
-semi circular aerials (parts 46) must be added to tail for an Argentine aircraft (not mentioned in instructions)
overall opinion: Not a bad kit but not great (esp. in light of Hasegawa release). Does provide full range of stores however. Decal rating: 10/10
------------------------------------
Hope that's of use!
Terry, don't know off hand the exact differences between the B and C, but would suspect Geo is right in that it lies in the avionics, as with the later models. Will check one of my books that should have the diffs listed and get back to you on it.
