Airfix 1/48 Aircraft - Type 6 Packaging released during the period 1978-81
This style of packaging was in use at the time Airfix's collapse in 1981. After being bought by General Mills the same packaging was used but with CPG Corp stickers applied. When production moved to France the "Made in Britain" titling was redacted and a "Made in France" label applied, eventually the box artwork was changed to reflect the new ownership and country of manufacture
Injection plastic model kit requiring assembly and painting.

If you are purchasing to build please remember that these are approaching 40+ years old.
Whereas the plastic parts will be a lot sharper than more recent re-releases, the decals themselves will be slightly suspect due to their age. These should be used with caution, possibly with the use of something to prevent any possible breaking up of the decal such as microscale's liquid decal film or a varnish coat.
