Which Me-262 to get?

I searched for a while on the threads to see if this has been covered but didn't find exactly what I was looking for.
I want to get 1 me262 and want to know if anyone who has both 21Cent. and Admiral Toy versions would choose one over the other and why. I think I like the 21st me262A version best (paint scheme is one of my favorite), but I've heard some say the paint makes some of the moving parts very difficult to operate - someone even had their landing gear break trying to open the gear it was so tight. Anyone else have QC issues with that release?
Don't know anything about Admiral's version.
I did a similar thread about the P51 mustang and everyone was a great help (went with the BBI Old Crow by the way).
Thanks

I have two admiral Me-262s "White 8" and "White 7" and they are both phenominal. I also have the 21C "Red 10" Nightfighter. I am looking to get the 21C "Yellow 7" soon to complete the set. If I had to choose one out of all of them, it would have to be the nightfighter just because of its design and scheme. Thats just my opinion. I think they are all awesome and definitely hard to choose between.

So thats my recommendation.

If I could only have *1* ME-262...it would have to be the 21st Yellow 7.

It's much better than AT in terms of detail. from the cockpit down to the tires, 21st did an excellent job on their ME-262.

I've got all of them too but if I had to choose it would be the 2 seater as well.

Thanks all. I went with the Yellow 7 by 21st. Didn't want the 2 seater as it was just a trainer and didn't really like the paint scheme.

I'll let everyone know if there are any QC issues with mine. Thanks for all the recommendations.
By the way, FighterJox.com has the 2 seater 21st Nacht version for only about $56 - was very tempted to get both that and the Yellow 7. Probably won't last long. The yellow 7 was the same price.

I have the Me262 Nightfighter and think it's great. I might get the Me262A as well.
