2001 Airfix Lynx Mk 8 - New Sprue?

Hi everyone,

A question to the floor from a returnee to the hobby.

I recently bought an Airfix Mk 8 Lynx from eBay and it arrived today with everything appearing in tact.

I have heard of kits coming with new / updated sprues to provide new / re-modelled pieces.

My question is this though, the instructions appear to have differing piece numbers to some of the sprue parts.  I have looked and they appear to match the diagram, appear to be the right scale but it's the differing number that has thrown me.  That coupled with the difference in the new sprue's colour.

 

If anyone can shine a light then I will be greatly thankful.

The new sprue should include the BERP blades unless I am mistaken, and the original parts should still be in the kit.

 

It definitely does.  I've been looking more into it (the kit I actually have) and all parts are there despite their numbering changes.

 

Like I say, this was the first time I have had a kit like this but all in order.  Thanks for your help though and hopefully others might benefit from my lack of knowledge now 🤦‍♂️
