The original kit had several really ugly and visible mold release pin marks on the interior panels. Maybe they've addressed that. Also the hood engine vents weren't all that well done either.

As I see they didn't change anything. Even markings looks the same. Tyres are to low, all car seats too low on suspension, too. I have two of them, it's quite a nice kit but I think it is same old kit. Looks like only difference are jerry cans and rifles.

Interesting how the "Battle for the Marne" French taxi showed up on the release instead of the PKW 1...something went sideways on the translation perhaps?
