Tat BaquiI thought this was the old Matchbox kit as the decals reminded me of it until I saw the scale. All the best to your project!

Robert W MartelHi Tat,
I guess there was a Matchbox kit of this in 72nd scale. This kit was tooled in 1992, it's a pretty decent kit, but still w/raised panel lines. I don't see that anyone has made a "new tool" of this plane...yet. That would be nice. Someone with more patience & skill than I could re-scribe this or maybe the Revell kit & have a real nice model.
It still looks good for an old tool kit. I like it, it was fun to build.
Cheers !!
