Outstanding, King Cobra! What scale?

This is the old Monogram 1/48 scale kit, isn't it?
King Cobra	11 Jun 2009 6:50 p.m. PST
I'm sure it's 1/48 but it has been so many years I'd have to investigate the manufacturer. Thanks for the lead, gamertom.

Definitely the old Monogram kit, which was re-re-re-released by Revell-ogram and is still available. Now if they would repop the TBF, F6F and SB2C. Corsair

King C, Do you recall the price you paid for the wonder? Just wondering.

If I were to guess, two weeks worth of paper route money earned by delivering the "Chicago American" newspaper?!

Looking at these new images of an old favorite brings a couple of things to mind. 1) I used to be afraid of ruining a model by tackling the painting of the canopy frame. 2) Not dusting a model for many years can give the aircraft a weathered effect I can't seem to reproduce with a brush!
