Bernard and the rest following thsi thread - Some years back, I set out to build a couple of these cars, using the PartsPacks I had accumluated rather than the mega-expensive kits (I had grabbed one of these kits many years ago before they began to command triple digit prices).

I soon found out that Revell had made subtle changes to some of the Parts Packs that were included in the Double Kits to allow them to actually fit together as a complete model. They weren't big changes, and there weren't alot of changes, but comparing the kits and the Parts Packs side by side, there WERE some changes.

Alas, I don't remember exactly what the changes were.

Best regards...TIM
