Hasegawa's "Egg Craft"? Around 72nd scale but with the fuselage distorted to eggy proportions, they're still available.

Revell did a few too, I think they were 60's or 70's era, but possibly got re-released in the '80's. This is one of a series of three or four IIRC:

I remember the Revell ones from their 1973 catalogue.

Zany Planes - I have a 1974 Revell catalogue with them in:

There was the Spitfire, a Messerschmitt, a Nieuport and a Fokker Triplane.

And 5 pairs of wings!

(The supercharged hemi was an option - the alternative was a stylised radial)

At least the Fokker's got a prop. Poor old Rif Raf isn't going anywhere...

Hasegawa also did a series and I think Tamiya did/do. Come up on eBay sometimes.

Hasegawa still produce this series. Hobby link Japan have a P47 and T4 in stock with a 747 with space shuttle on top due this month http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljlist/?SeriesID=464 the cost isn't too bad either although you'll pay nearly the same in postage but for around £10 delivered I wouldn't complain.
