This looks like a great kit. There are complete sprue and decal shots over on Cybermodeler:

However, lest anyone be confused, the Cybermodeler article is incorrect in that it refers to the rare 1/72 Delta-2 and box-scale (I think it was 1/96th) Glencoe re-pop of the old ITC kit as the "S55". Those two kits are of the S55X, which was a larger, somewhat different aircraft. The S55 came first, was smaller, sported open cockpits, different engines, and had a smaller payload. An example of the S55 and one the subjects of this kit still exists in the Sao Paulo Brazil aviation museum:
