I don't think it matters same here

Christian W
No! You couldn't replace a box art, if there are small differences! If there are differences, it is not the same kit! You'd add another "based on" kit.

Jv
If you lookt at the kit no its the same

Christian W
Sure! But he wrote, that he has a box with level 4 written on it. He asked first, what he should do, before he changes the box art.

He did not change the box art so far.

Jv
Ok yes your right I guess it matters if the kit is for sale
But yes I got that same kit as he is talking about
And same as his were it says level 4
But it is the same kit
And that is the only difference
But yes there is that difference

Christian W
I did a little research and found 4 more 66 Shelby Mustang GT 350H! Each of them have different box art and different copyright years on the box. I just added them.
Only one is level 4 - funny.

Jv
Yep your right i have seen it not just in that kit
I was thinking
It may have something to do whed were the kit is made
But I seen that in the case whed the gt 350 h kit its been boxed
4 different ways but still same kit
I guess its just to sale more

Jv
You will find the same whed the 69 camaro z/28 RS kit aswell
And some more don't remember what thay are now
I was in a shop that sold the same kit as level 2 and as level 4
In the beginning I thought it was 2 different kits
But found is the same just a small difference to the box
Kit no is still the same and I think time of manufacture is same to

Jv
As I remember i have seen it on the motor city muscle series
Revel muscle series
And the streetburner series

Christian W
Furtheron I think, that it depends, where the kit was sold. There are differences between North - / Southamerica or Canada. Not to talk about Europe.
Sometimes I go nuts, when I do my research.

The Level 4 kit is strange. I didn't notive that until you wrote it. I don't get, why only this should be level 4. The kit was still the same (sprues / decals / parts). Who knows.

Jv
Lol yes I am in Australia
We get revell kits from America Germany and China
But the strange thing is that
Just the other day there was a sale and I seen same kit in both boxes
I also vent to my local hobby shop and was a bit confused over the same thing and bought the level 4 kit thinking it must be a better kit

Urban Gardini
Each different boxart of a particular kit is an individual entry in the database.

Jv
I also found the Dominic charger as a 1/24 scale level 4
And 1/25 scale level 5
But that is a different kit and different box
So yes it does pay to know a bit before you buy
I got my first model in mid September last year
I had nothing to do whed models for the last 40 years
But did do a few as a kid
So I'm happy to have found scalemates
And have already learnt alot here
I still haven't got around to building anything yet
Sofare I have only bought a few models
Now got 45
I have spent lots of time doing research on them
Thats how I found scalemates

Jv
Half of what I got I got on specals
And I managed to buy a collection of 18 kits privately
And lastly I bought models from the hobby shop I just like

Terry Healey
Sorry for the long delay haha, I fell away from the models for a spell. I'll try another go at it. Try to clean up some inventory. More to come! p.s. I didn't change the cover photo after all.

Jv
All good Terry i started one kit but things dident work out to good on it so I put it away for a bit
Christian did put the kit in the database whed level 4 on the box art
So I did change it on mine
Don't know how he did it
I also got a similar situation whed another kit I got

Terry Healey
gotcha!

Christian W
Everything is fine 🙂
Thanks for the response!

Terry Healey
Hey guys do anyone use sandpaper pre paint and if so, what grit? I'm using acrylics with a brush.

Jv
I use 800 but if you are using a brush you can probably use 400
Or less
I'm only a beginner so you can probably get better advice
I use spray cans
I learnt lots
From hipyguy
Look him up on YouTube
He does simple builds that can be done on a small budget
Whed good results

Christian W
Me too. 800 is the minimum I use for wet sanding.
After the base coat I use 1200.

Terry Healey
Thanks guys
