Revell Uptown Charger questions

[SSNJim]

There were at least two kits - one was kit 2059 (flat box version?), and the other is 4225 (SRT8 Super Bee, which I have on hand). Are they the same kit as far as plastic goes? What, if any, are the differences? I just received a resin body that specifies 2059 as one of the donor kits, and I think all I need is the headlights, windshield, grille and a few other parts.

Thanks!

Revel's Uptown Charger kit is different to Lindberg's & Testors Charger kit ( SRT8 Superbee )

If you have the Lindberg/Testors kit... How about you open it up & see if the parts from that kit fit your resin body... Might be an idea ?

As far as im aware they are all the same just re-released with different box art.

Thanks a lot guys! It looks like they are pretty much rereleases of the same basic kit. The yellow one, which is the one I have, has only the stock looking wheels and one grille style, and some of the other options may be missing. It should work for what I need.

The Testors kit may possibly work also, but going from memory, the grille and its opening are different for a start. I haven't actually tested it - they haven't both bubbled to the top of the stash at the same time.
