D. OSBORN
i guess it IS possible it could be an old prototype pic of the amt/ertl 1A model, but somehow i doubt it…
I don't think so, there looks to be too many differences, even for a prototype.
Plus the searchlight appears to be in the correct spot. It seems weird (if this was a photo of the 1989 1/25 kit) that they would have later moved the light to the wrong spot before production.
