It was a repop from a kit from the 60s. Mouse went on to design a lot of album covers including the Grateful Dead and Journey! You did a nice job on him.
Great job on yours, I'm just finishing up this kit, the seems on his shoulders and arms were pretty noticable I did what I could to get em out but not all. To hide the lines around his wrists i took some bead string medium thickness and tied it around the wrists for bands, it works for me.
@@thomasfairfoull Thanks for your kind words. I still get a charge out of building a model kit. I’m reading about 3-D printers actually salvaging some old kits where molds have been lost… I’m feeling like this might be the best time ever for the hobby… some of the old kits can be reproduced.

According to _Monogram Models_ by Thomas Graham (Schiffer, 2013), the kit was originally released by Monogram in 1965.
Thanks… this is good information to have . The kit is really fun and easy to build .
Your build-up was terrific.
