There were a few different toys from that era which fit the description. Some official, some not. (You can see one in the background of most NBC sitcoms from the mid to late 90's.)

could have been a Billikin kit, volks, kaiyodo, horizons, etc. Could have also been a garage kit

Maybe, but that one's hard polystyrene plastic. It's also a really good kit; easy to build, easy to paint. (I got one through Avon a long time ago.)

I'm not an expert on the model kits, but I know that a ton of companies in Japan made a huge amount of Godzilla kits over the years (authorized and otherwise). Not sure how many would have made it to a store stateside back in the late 70's to early 80's though. In the late 80's perhaps.

Yeah if Bobws can get us any more information or possible year date it really is a crap shoot in the dark
