Christian WThere are 3 differences to this kit: Corvette '60 (Revell 7164, 1:25)
a) notice the Recycling circle on the top of the box. It's no sticker, it is printed -> [img1]
b) the skill level is now on the small side of the box -> [img2]
c) the Copyright is the same year. But it is written
... "Revell AG"
... "by Revell Inc."
... and the rest of the text is different too -> [img3]
This kit is the older kit because of the printing of this recycling thing (dual system in Germany) on the products and it was political correct, to write instead of "Germany" the "W.-Germany" (for the western part) on each product.

Christian WThank you. It *is* interessting!
I always look some model kits up, when they come up with the same year and box. I want to know whether there are differences or the "guy", who brought the kit into scalmates was lazy and didn't check, whether the kit still exists or not.
Exactly for such differents I opened one album to picture it😉
In this case, I own both model kits and saw it, when I sorted them into my shelf.

Choppa Nuttapolitical correctness is pure cancer, it's never made anyones life better, only worse ....
as the late, great George Carlin once put it political correctness is fascism dressed up as politeness.
I liked the way Jimmy Carr expressed it -
"People who adhere to political correctness are "R f E a T g A g R o D t E s D"
... and it annoys me that I have to encode the last two words for the sake of political correctness and it's censorious ways etc. etc. etc. . . . .
Anyhow................
Cool looking car 🙂
