Probably a re-pop, re-label of the old Monogram Dauntless. BobbyG
Yeah, it's the Monogram kit right down to the operating flaps, retractable gear and dropping bomb. This one is molded in medium gray, and it looks kind of flashy than I remember the Monogram kits being. Old molds, more than likely.

The kit appears to be a reissue of the old Monogram one:

Ah, the joyful memories of drilling out all the holes in the dive brakes. ;-) The bombs under the wings look smaller than I remember them.

Older than most of the people buying this kit. Goes together easy, and the working bits are fun--the kids will love it. Decal sheet looks interesting.
You sound like my girlfriend.
what did the elephant say to the naked man? how do you breathe through that little thing?
The operating dive flaps are particularly fun; Monogram was very good at designing working features. Remember the F-105 with the ejecting pilot and rotary bomb bay?

Next it will be ball turrets. Seriously, the bombs on the photos of the model look like they weigh around fifty pounds each. They appear ready to take on this guy with his deadly bomb and Yak-3/P-51 hybrid aircraft:
