Very nicely built! It will be interesting to see this next to the Heller one, as that is a much more accurate representation. IIRC, Monogram got their tooling from Aurora, and it's from the same series as the Aston DB4 & Maserati 3500GT.

My gut tells me it might be part of the range that Gunze reboxed from other manufactuers for sale in Japan.

Indeed - Gunze reboxed a whole load of Heller kits - the Jag FHC, Citroen Traction Avant, Bugatti T50, M-B 500K, M-B 170, Bentley 4 1/2, Delahaye 135 and Talbot Lago Record amongst others. Completely different from the HiTech range and its derivatives.

They used to appear every so often on eBay. However I think I have a spare one - let me know if you're interested & I'll have a hunt for it
