This is the Italeri 1/48 Combat Aircraft Support Group which I believe it was sold under the ESCI label. It does features a nicely model towing tractor, bomb loader and a boarding ladder. Since it is injection molded, the price is quite fair compared to a resin counterpart if you’re building or planing on building a diorama on a budget.
The injection is quite clean with little to no visible flash. To my liking the clear parts are on the thick side (yet they remain clear for its thickness). Bathing these parts on Johnson Floor polish will make this thickness look less apparent

Hello Willie,
This entry was posted back in 2014 when I believe the set was re-issued. They don’t usually run the molds for more than a quarter of the year. I suggest you check at the auction site.
There are trading groups on Facebook as well. You should try your luck there.
Good luck!
