Yes I know, I was the first one to reply to your thread:

Which one do you prefer Freak? Skymarks or Hogan?

The engines and landing gear look nicer on the Hogan and the Hogan has a registration.

Another thing is that the passenger windows on the skymarks are too high and therefore push up the words "Air Canada" a little too high.

Hard to say which one I prefer.... the color is very important to me and Skymarks wins on that respect. Skymarks also wins on the shape of the cockpit windows, which are also very important to me because I think that that is the aspect that makes the model look like the real thing. But Hogan wins on attention to detail (reg, engines, passenger windows, gear, wing's leading edge, etc.)

I'm still happy with the Hogan that I bought and as long as nobody puts a Skymarks next to it I won't know that there is a difference.

Now that I have the Hogan though, I love it. I guess if I could buy only the vertical stab from Skymarks then I'd make the switch. The cockpit windows aren't as bad as I thought.

Which one do you prefer Freak? Skymarks or Hogan?
