Default RE: Help identifying old plastic pattern plane

Don, it does look a lot like the Jester with two notable exceptions. First, the cockpit is entirely different. On mine the top of the fuselage is straight and the cockpit extends from the front of the wing to behind the wing. Secondly, the vertical stabilizer on mine is part of the molded fuselage, not a separate piece and the stab/rudder has a distinct downward slope to the rear of the plane not flat like the picture of the Jester. Other than that, they appear remarkably similar so I wonder if there were changes to the kit through the production run over the years that would account for those differences? Thanks for posting the pics.
