This model came from eBay and I am sure it is long out of production.
I think it is a former Heller kit. There was no pilot so I rounded one up and now there is one.
Iron Ace, his plane, and Rubberman and Black Mail his two main rivals.
I think it is an interesting little WWII group.
Working on my Action Fleet Starship Troopers figures. I liked all the movies but I always figured it was rather stupid that they did not have any ground vehicles. If they were not going to do the Mobile Infantry as jump troopers, then at least a few tanks and APCs would have been in order. And don't get me started on their tactics. I have added a few additional figures to the unit by painting other science fiction figures in the Starship Troopers colors.
I have also obtained and repainted a number of Matchbox, and Hot Wheels items to give them greater ground mobility and reconnaissance capabilities. Also a large drone. Last summer I stripped all the paint off these vehicles, except the drone, and repainted them. I also began adding decals but the weather got too cold for that and they will wait for summer again. I also painted about 100 figures for this group from other non-Starship Trooper sets I had.

I remember someone made that early French fighter.
The instructions say made in the USA. I think it was originally a Heller kit. It has that same kind of soft styrene they used and no pilot which was common for their kits. Fortunately I had one in the spares box.
