It's either a Trophy Jr, or a Craftsman (both from the same tool, just different release dates.) Some Craftsman issues didn't have fender skirts, so most likely, yours is a Trophy Jr kit. In many ways, those are more accurate than the glue kit, because they have a more accurate hardtop, Ford lettering on the wheel covers, and nicely engraved exhaust ports on the rear bumpers. What color was yours molded in?
