Usually the answer you'll get is check scalemates for reviews. But, there didn't seem to be too many when I looked. http://modelingmadness.com/review/axis/luft/lyle111.htm is a review of the Monogram He-111H-3. Seems like a good kit. The ICM kit looks to be a new release this year. Which usually means it'll be a pretty good kit with a new tooling and all. However, I don't have personal experience with any He-111 kit on the market.

My method of checking out kits of a certain subject is to go on ScaleHobbyist.com and use their search filters, which are the only ones I've seen that allow you to filter by the specific vehicle in the kit. That should show you a lot of the He 111 kits on the market.

Then pick out the kits in your price range and look up the reviews of those kits online. Scalemates is the best place to go because they have links to all the reviews of that kit anywhere.

Then just decide which kit you want most. :thumb1:

Stop being such a chicken and get the 1/32 Revell He 111 instead. :tongue: It is a superb kit and great value for money.
