I found something similar to this yesterday which will be about the same
size assembled.  It was a 1/72 scale V22 Osprey that had been sitting in
the window for at least 18 months as a display (pretty good detail). Not quite
sure if I'll assemble according to the instructions or kitbash it into a jet
attack version yet. (I'd love to fly one for real; it'll never happen though.)

Matchbox also have another VTOL craft (I can't remember what it's called
-
it's sort of three vehicles in one) that is obviously a made-up craft.
It looks about the same size as the Matchbox Osprey (which I'm in the middle
of painting) but would definitely have people wondering where it came from,
rather than the "Oh that's a model Osprey"..
