Who Originally Published this Model?

This is a model I found on Pinterest which appears to be quite old but the only identifier is a couple of names on it - Bohdan Wasiak & Robert Kosozewski. The model is of a Curtiss P-40C Tomahawk. There are a few other which appear to have been done by the same team - Yak 3 & EE Lightning F1A. Does anyone have any ideas who published the originals?
Pinterest seems to be full of various models but little in the way of attribution.

Look here; Model Curtiss P - 40C Tomahawk - Kartonowki.pl - from the publishing house Mały Modelarz, 1977.

What Henryk said-this is 1977 Maly kit. From what I recall Robert Kosozewski had a little "Maly Modelarz Reactivation" corner on FB where he posted some of old Maly kits redone in this manner. He managed to do about 10 kits before I'm guessing legal team from Maly put stop to that. He disappeared since.

Thankyou gents for your knowledgeable insights on the models. How are the ''reactivated updates'' regarded on the forum, are they regarded as pirated or not? After comparing what I found on Pinterest to the originals via images on ebay, the updates are much cleaner and seemingly more accurately portrayed as regards markings etc.
