What changes did Hasegawa make for this to be a new tool.

Excellent modelling Jan! Admirable attention to detail, and an inspiring layout of the interior in particular. I love the guys pondering over the map!

@David Brizzard, the new kit has a LOT more interior detail (as shown), the 2 short wing spars (vs tabs on the wings that slotted into the fuselage on old kit) and recessed exterior detail. The new kit is LEAPS & BOUNDS better than the old kit. BTW: Eduard makes fantastic PE kits for it as well.

I built the original and look forward to making the new one sitting in my closet, LOL.
