New parts for their previous release?

The 99A was released sometime ago, so I presume this is a different variant. They have also release the 99, 99A-1 and the 99B.

This is the same ZTZ-99A model recently depicted by Panda. It's more or less an "A2" or the most up to date, current 99 variant today. Shorter hull and reconfigured rear with a beefier turret. Lot of other tid bits of course but being brief.

I wonder if this kit uses parts of the mouldings of their previous kits, or it is all new. I've built their ZTZ-99B (unofficial designation) and it is a fairly decent kit, very cheap, but it is possible to make much better kits. The real challenge of this kit is the digital painting. Older versions have the usual 3 shades camouflage as an alternative, but I don't think that it's the case of the ZTZ-99 A2 (another unofficial designation, but it's the most widely known). I think to have seen photos of an all-green one, anyhow.
