                        Hi all,

                        Just after Revell released its 1/72 scale Gato a couple of years ago, I picked one up (Revell #85-0384).  Still in the stash however.  The other day at my LHS, I noticed the a Gato that had different box art and was numbered 85-0394.  Anyone know of what the difference between the two kits are if any?  I am assuming it has to be something more than a different looking box art?

                        Thanks,

                        RODC

                        It could very well be the same kit. They have done that on a smaller cutaway U Boat too.

                        I have the original (submerged on the box art) and I would suspect it is a straight re-release of that one with an updated box.  You might drop Revell and email and ask.  If you do please let us know what they say.
