Date: 1824
1 : an exact reproduction (as of a painting) executed by the original artist <a replica of this was painted... this year -- Constance Strachey>
2 : a copy exact in all details <DNA makes a replica of itself> <sailed a replica of the Viking ship>; broadly : COPY <this faithful, pathetic replic

B. KIT; An assembly built from a lists of parts, normally not to replicate but to sell at a lower cost.

Go to the BLACKS LAW Dictionary if you seek the legal interpertation, no more no less, There are a lot of kits out there, very few replicas.
