I'm just wondering what the difference are between the old Dragon Firefly (which I have) and the latest release (which I'm thinking of maybe buying).

Is there any great differences? And of course, since it's not a cheap kit, are the differences big enough to be worth buying the latest release?

In addition to the lower hull length correction they have retooled/refined the details on the upper hull and turret, added an entirerly new suspension which includes the mounting plates and detail inserts for the rear of the road wheels. For more info and photos of the sprues, try here.
