The GPM model of this Starfighter is different than the KK version primarily in the level of detail ( lots of parts in the afterburner for example ). Secondly and more important, GPM version has the the engine air intake "cheeks" separate from the fuselage. When attached, you will notice a sharp demarcation with the fuselage. On the KK version it is blended ( which I believe is more correct ).

Another difference is that the GPM kit offers two silver models in the same booklet. One is matt finished ( which I selected to build ) and also a shiny version. So if you want, you can build two models or give one away to a friend ( but you will need to scan and print the page containing the white wings as there is only one set.


Here is the kit
