hgbben Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 Alright folks, I am personally curious if there is any difference between the 2 kits pictured other than the box art?
Fat Brian Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 I've had both but not at the same time. I do believe they are the same though.
Dpate Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 (edited) Funny this is a post because i was actually looking at this kit myself. These two versions are the same just different box. I believe the lighting F-150 is the same as well besides the "lightning" options. The red version here is original release i think 91, and the 2nd box art was released in 95 with that new box.

Tabbysdaddy Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 The Lightning is a short bed, those are long bed.

Upon a quick view of the co tents I figured they were the same.
oldcarfan Posted December 24, 2023 Posted December 24, 2023 These two are the same kit, released in different boxings. From memory, AMT did several F Series kits in the early 90s, releasing them in several variants. The Lightning was based on the shortbox tooling, with Lightning specific parts added. AMT also released the promo version as a snap kit. There was also a short bed flareside version. There may have been others, but that's all I can remember. The cool thing is that the parts in the kits were interchangeable with each other.
av405 Posted December 25, 2023 Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) The only difference as far as I can remember is the steering wheel. The red version has the 1992-1993 steering wheel while the 1995 has the 1994-1996 steering wheel with the airbag. 1992-1993: 1994-1996: Edited December 25, 2023 by av405
