En dan heb je er ook nog één met stock nr erop.. wat is het verschil tussen de kits met geen tekst erop, met item. of met stock nr erop?

Bedoel meer van is er een verschil qua jaartal? Of Fabriek etc.

Dat is de kleine FA kit voor o.a. voertuigen. Vroege kits hebben aan de ene kant van het deksel 2 clips, en aan de andere kant een scharnier; latere hebben 2 clips aan beide kanten (de lange kant). WO2 exemplaren hebben geen stockno.; zeer laat WO2 en na-oorlogs hebben wel zo'n nummer op het deksel.
