[StartQuote] Jim, The Royal Resin and LionRoar kits are two different animals. There is very little overlap. In fact the only overlap I find is with the roll off racks and the 37mm M9 magazine. For example the 50 cal tubs. LionRoar kit has brass ammo trays empty The Royal Resin set has covered resin trays. LionRoar does not have the .50 cal trigger mechanism where the Royal Resin set has them. For the 37mm and 40mm the LionRoar has turned brass rounds where the Royal Resin set does not. LionRoar also includes brass barrels where Royal Resin does not. However both sets have turned .50 cal barrels. LionRoar includes brass props. Royal Resin does not. Royal Resin includes some resin upgrades in their set. LionRoar does not. If I were only buying one I would probably get the LionRoar. They have just been re-released so they are available again.If you can do both I couldn't tell you that you would be wasting your money. Now, I would also recommend the Italeri PT Boat conversion kit because it has back dated radar. It also includes some of the improved torpedoes. Italeri also re-released their original PT Boat crew which is appropriate for the European based boats. I hope that helps! Dave David Waples[EndQuote]
