Which is worth more AF or Z force carrier?

Both are going to be listed on feebay so what sort of price should I realistically expect?
Both have broken missile carrier pins the Z force one has the original antenna which would probably bump it up a bit?

They are both the same, the only difference is the box. Yours looks like a custom sticker job. I quite like it though. Panther stickers for the front by the looks, or something similar.

They're actually not both the same or they shouldn't be. The AF one is a lighter green and for some reason the Camo patch on top, second from the back is thicker on the AF version. The striped decal along the side is also a different colour but that is missing. I've noted these differences several times now.

With regards to value, I'd say £60 for the one without the antenna and then the sky is the limit with the one with the antenna...the ultimate rarity along with an unbroken Shaft!

So it is. You might want to get Jim to amend the archive, Jon. ;-)

Looking at the headlights, I'd say they are from the NAJ.

I think the decals above are all custom Chops. I'd strip it and sell it as clean.

Yep it is definitely a lighter green although I can't find any pics anywhere showing what stickers should be on it, do you have any pics Buddusky?
It isn't even pictured on the side of the boxes as that just shows the z force carrier I have googled images and just come up with Z force apc :-? The inside is exactly like the z force stickers too.

The stripes are a different colour, I'll try and snap pictures for you.

As I mentioned put the canopies side by side and compare the Camo patch on the top, second from the back on the right. One is thick and one is thin.

Yep I knew that bit just been in the attic and have found some more but scrappers some have the lighter AF green with Z Force stickers on but a darker shade of green on the side stripes got it now. ;)
