I've always read that the Matchbox kit ws just a reboxing of the Monogram 1/72 kit. Well, yesterday I rec'd an old Monogram Huey Cobra Team set. In the box was also a Matchbox AH-1G kit & yet another loose Monogram AH-1G. Well, the kits are not the same. Not even close in sprue layout & breakdown, tho they're both AH-1Gs. Where & how did the tale about the Matchbox & Monogram kits being the same get started?
