Does anyone know anything about this kit? Is it a reboxing of someone else's release, or something new? I have been unable to find any information anywhere, so any help will be greatly appreciated.

Well, the kit itself is garbage.
Tons of flash, raised panel lines, all poorly molded. It will make a nice paint test hulk, that's about it. On the other hand, it does have a nice looking set of Techmod decals, with French & British markings. They will be great replacements for my recently acquired Airfix Jaguar that had bad decals, so I guess all is not lost.
