Not a big deal, but...

I was just perusing the latest issue of Model Military International and read a review of the Type 82 E Beetle and saw no mention of the lineage of this kit, which started out in the late 90s from CMK, moved on to Italeri (as the Type 87), then the molds were either copied of modified by Aeroplast, then finally now Revell.

Yep,it is the same kit from the late 90's,all they have done is changed the decal options or added extra parts.
