1/62 82-100 Aurora Lockheed F-104 Starfighter
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
Rare 1964 hardbox issue. It was originally '82-79' but Aurora put a '100' sticker over the '79.' This is the large ex-Comet F-104. In the early 1960s Aurora obtained Comet's line of molds. Comet, as was their custom, had made two of most kits - a smaller scale and a larger scale. Aurora reissued both F-104s - the 1/110 small scale and this 1/62 larger scale version. Aurora did not make many of the 1/62 edition and possibly only issued them once - this is probably due to the fact that Lindberg and Hawk already had excellent 1/48 scale F-104 kits on the market. The aircraft is molded in silver and clear, and oddly the stand (which Aurora modified for their issue) is molded in gloss medium gray. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Decals and instructions are in excellent condition with light yellowing and edge wear being the only flaws.
