I believe that they were a line by either Hasagawa or tamiya,
large scale "museum" quality kits which were supposed to be very
close to the originals in construction, ie duplicating the
rib/spar/stringer layouts ofthe originals. There are probably
several kicking around as they were quite expensive, phenominally
so for the times!
