Yep, there are noticable differences between a dyna and softail. These are 2010 models, but here you can clearly see the differences.
Dyna is kinda smoother looking and noticably slimmer. The front is different and dyna has exposed rear shocks.
The models havent changed over the years that much, but judging by the paint job, the one you bought looks like it's a 70's model. The small AMF-logo (American Machine and Foundry Company owned H-D 1969–1981) infront of H-D-logo gives that away.
I think here are a few (built) pics of the model you bought (Tamiya superglide FXE 1200 #16010 with a different paintjob):

In the end it looks very different from the FatBoy.

But as I stated earlier regarding the Tamiya Harley Davidson-kits, they do look far more realistic than the plasticy New Bright RC's.
How about the Testors Harley Davidson's? Are those any good? Here's a link:
