I think they gave a new number to every chassis being build. Like Tyrrell with the 002, 003 and 004. All are basically the same car.
The RE30 was the first Renault F1 car to receive the same number for every chassis.
Back to the RE20/23:
I recall there was a difference between the Jabouille and the Arnoux car. It might be somewhere in the area of the cockpit surrounding.
Update on Italeri's website and facebook for the 1/12th Alfa Romeo Monza. Other than the wire wheels it looks great. Engine detail is top quality and the vents look all opened and good. Maybe they will offer an upgrade kit for the wire wheels. Fernando Pinto FPPM makes a nice 1/12th set that could be resized when the Alfa kit comes out. I hope they do like Pocher and offer several body versions.
Yes, Steffen is right about the Renault. Also about cockpit.
Only visual differences between Jabouille and Arnoux cars (probably both used the 20 and the 23 chassis at some time), was that Rene's mirrors were black and independent (like the JS11 ones), and Jabouille's were included in the cockpit bodywork, a matter of taste.
Neither Tamiya nor Protar/Italeri did include the Jabouille option. You have to work it out by yourself (or ask for the parts to a Heller user that did not use them).
Maybe it's a cooperation with BeeMax, using their kit with alternative decals?
The kits been out for a while at this point. I had a lot of problems with the build and the chassis not fitting together well at all which caused the body to not sit properly based on hitting the roll cage and front radiator area. Much of this was a problem because there is a massive lip on the side windows that requires everything is fit perfectly, and many of the parts are pretty vague on where they need to go. I've seen many builds from others who are better at it than me who get a good kit, and I'm excited for their Porsche 911 kit they're coming out with.
I don't think they have an association with BeeMax but I could be wrong as I've never seen a M6 from beeMax.

Hi,
Right
Only Heller delivers the Jabouille cockpit option. Note that the seat position is also different
I remember that the Protar version has 15 inches front wheels tires and brakes
Heller aftermarket is great. Try it !
