Looking for a kit...Long shot edition

Popping into my memories today was a build I did back in my early days. It was the Revell #H195 U.S.A.F Thunderbirds kit pictured here:


I would really like to find one of these to build again for nostalgic reasons, and to do it the justice it deserved. My skills weren’t really up to it at the time, but it was one of my favorite builds of one of my favorite aircraft, despite my lack of skills.
Anyone have this in their stash or have seen one in the wild? I know it’s a long shot, but it is a “must have” situation for me. Any and all advice is appreciated!

I don’t have this one, nor have I ever built it

But I did find several currently on eBay, many at not bad at all price levels. https://www.ebay.com/itm/366093721089?_skw=Revell+1-72+USAF+Thunderbirds&itmmeta=01KET2ZP55G50TTBKPQ1YAE3GA&hash=item553ce2de01:g:9RcAAeSwztNpVa-3&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAABAFkggFvd1GGDu0w3yXCmi1e5vWtduere44FKBWxK9Ackcg6JSWPk8JDIbdCadSHvCBX8GGx3CyFMrpiGM1P4tzvKoMI%2BRom8Eon23KQpfkE1BDMGsUZGwNja59xKyF%2F1HFrQpZdIalLyhOX8wcJG%2FviuFtMhT%2BMQ%2B9dkkFXfODoLPKIJ49FDvXsA2U04JM10uaCWVwtdcVQf2SgXCK1igT4KXIXH51ypid8nAZJDn3HQ%2FyTabMIVfrrvYMYzorRbQJA0UeSyJ5CfAi6RmmtXE32miFO0e7Gns0d2AXOS7dMRvodnh5MEWiFKcZHOfa4KZ4KWFe4aS9Xb3k9QkvfbbAg%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-bi_sL2Zg

Update! Wasn’t such a long shot after all. Thank you keavdog for the tip. I snagged the factory shrink wrapped kit you found for $25 plus shipping. Turns out the seller is 3 hours from me so I should have it in my hands by this weekend. I can’t wait to break the seal on this one. I just hope all the decals are in decent shape. If not, I’ll end up spending far more on replacements than I did on the kit itself but oh-well! Thanks everyone for the help!
