Hi all.
I am confused.. Is the new Revell USS Wasp just a reboxing of the Academy kit with an almost 100% price mark up here is Australia??

over here in the UK Warren the revell U.S.S. Wasp has PE included or so it says on the box, does the Academy Wasp come with PE? if so it could be the same kit. but i'm not to sure i haven't seen any of the sprue shots so this could be revell's own i'm not to sure.

Hey Ant.

I have since been led to believe that it is indeed the same boxing, HOWEVER, the Revell kit APPEARS to have more parts, and the Gallery Models (aka Academy) one is definitely a Trumpeter kit going off the style of the instructions.. Confusing no?
