Back in the seventies, there was a company that advertised in the back of the model mags. The ads were rather "cartoonish" in nature with a couple Mexican characters agonizing over a recent crash.......then they come across an ad for Mexi-Model....all their problems were solved.

If I recall correctly they had quite a few Almost Ready to Cover models that mimicked our most popular pattern ships. A friend of mine got one and actually the quality was quite good. I think this company later went on to produce the ARC "G-Shark" and several other sport models.
