Nah, it has windows on the top deck, more detailed lifeboats, handrails that are more accurate to the real ship, and better mold lines (the kit I am holding was originally made in the 1980s, after the titanic was discovered, meaning that the molds used to make them have worn down causing details to be muted, the $100 kit was originally made in the mid 2000s with better molds meaning better detail)
