The CMD - hands down. The DML one is generally fine but suffers from over exuberant texture whic hneeds a good sanding. For reasons known only to DML the pitting is also on the plate steel rear and also needs a good fill. A very nice hybrid can be done from that kit. The CMD if it has a fault is a little hard to mate to Italeri lower hulls but only requires a little modelling skill to fix. The detai.l is accurate and well done. The verlinden one is wrong in its weld lines and the shape of the front casting between the hatches (ventilator area)
Cheers
Al
