Two just released? Not certain, but they're likely to be the same basic mould - it allows for the Jaguar A and Jaguar E versions with separate nose parts, so there may be parallel boxings.

Bang goes the market for second-hand Jaguars, then...

Oops!

In that case they're pretty much the same. The original is the GR.Mk.1A; the later one is the GR.Mk.3A/ES. There are supposed to be differences in the cockpits but the main differences between the kits are the decals.

The Jaguar A is the Heller boxing of the same kit with the pointy nose.
