Yes that's it!

If that's the actual front of the box you have, you could maybe discover when those stores mentioned on the price stickers went out of business and put an upper date on it too

This is the image of my model box art. The first one was a web image.

No helpful clues in the price stickers, then

 

[PatW]

No as I said that first image was a web picture. No price stickers. I've looked at the box and instructions but no dates on either.

Painted, wait to dry and attach decals! Just the prop and front to finish.



As it's an kit I have sprayed the decal sheet with a coat of gloss clear.

Some decals on, although the box art shows white numbers only red ones on the decal sheet, so had to repaint rear tail half in light grey.
