I would suggest this would not be possible as Deagostini version was offered either on a monthly subscription with individual packs of parts being sent. Or as a complete kit with the same parts arriving on mass.
Apart from Deagostini possibly having to send out a particular pack as a replacement for builder error etc i am not aware of any form of upgrade kit.
Artesania Latina went into receivership about a year back and while they have now been bought out (and operating under the same name) they are not producing the full range of kits that they once did - Victory and HMS Surprise being 2 in point.
Not sure what differences you have seen but with the deagostini version we certainly did get a whole better set of build instructions as well as having access to the official build on this forum.
Deagostini did have the option of a cutaway section and supplied additional guns and cast figures. I believe this was not part of the Artesania original.
If its just that area you may find someone has this set they would be willing to part with as many builders decided to go full hull rather than cutaway.
We also had a builder that had some brass upgrades produced that he was selling. The stern gallery was one of these. But as i say these were privately done and not part of the official deagostini offering.
Is there anything else you have spotted that you feel differs between the 2 kits?
