Can anyone tell me how to tell loose specimens apart? What are the differences, if any?
Thanks, Brian

The date stamp on the underside of the main body should read "2002" on the newest one. It's also a different color from what I gather.

the piece is great...the decals are a whole different story. Im happy to see other people notice that though. I actually got my Rat very early on when I started collecting and was freaking out over the decals...I actually did a "custom" decal job, way too many, it started looking stupid and the fact that they kept comming off made it look dumber.
Decals suck. Aircraft rules, pilot rules. |

Decals suck. Aircraft rules, pilot rules. It really is a fantastic plane. Cobra "is" the Rattler and the Hiss tank.
