"New" Revell U boat 1/72

I recently bought two copies.  The box, instructions, decals, parts, and packaging all appear identical to the "older" issue (with the copyright year updated to 2011.  The kit also includes 1/72 scale figures.  Otherwise, looks identical (right down to the hull molding flash!).

Honestly, I'm glad to hear that! I bought one off E-Bay in the summer, and I am in the process of super detailing it. I would be a little miffed if this one had the flood and drainage slots already open!

As i understand it, it is the same as the old one and not a new tooling. The box is the same. As mentioned, the only difefrence is the figures, which i was rather chuffed about getting.
