This entry claims new parts. As far as im concerned agora have taken the hachette model and republished in its original form.

Could someone confirm if there is it is not new parts and possibly what these new parts are?

Hachette don't make anything.
They strike up a deal with a manufacturer, often getting rights to release first thus making the most of the market.
This is an Agora kit with the Hachette version being a rebox even though it was released first.

I don't know.
It could have new parts. You'd need to see a parts list for both to know for sure

500 parts to assemble. Total cost of more than a grand sent one box at a time over a year. Weird deal but I reckon it's a model kit even if it's not plastic or resin. Does a model kit have to be resin or plastic?

So even your typical Gorgi car is a model, not a kit, but definitely a model.

let's not sleep on the fact that this monster is 1:12. Is it a model kit if you can use it as a spare workbench when you're done?
