Any paint difference between the old Nexus and the new Aeris American DH4?

Basically wondering if the old, out of production Nexus Airco DH4 in painted for the Americans has any paint differences with the current one painted for the Americans. They both look pretty similar, but I'm wondering if there are any minor (squadron numbers, etc.) differences, or if it's a straight-up reprint.

Different unit - the old Nexus one was D squadron, US Marine Corps, iirc.

All three DH4's are new--which is damned bloody annoying, as it means six planes of a size that only fit five to a hangar-tray.

Don't recall which specific squadron, but Dom is right--old is USMC, new is US Army Air Service.

I was about to post: "never mind, realized the fins were different colors,' but you beat me to it. I'm assuming the British ones were a more faded, more 'olive' green than the current one, as the pictures seem to show?

Have a look at this doc in the files Brasel, the last pages have images of all the models released so far.

Only a problem if you just have 1 of each
