1/48 #126-198 Aurora
 Gotha Bomber Good Injection Molded old | ||
| First issue dated 1958 with 'Famous Fighters' in the sunburst logo. Classic Jo Kotula artwork. Large 1/48 scale model that is very nicely detailed for the time. Molded in the correct burgundy and black. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: one fuel line has 1mm of the tip broken off and missing. Decals are intact but have visible cracks. Instructions are badly stained but complete. Box appears much better than the 'Good' grade. There is a fine cut on on the box top that is very hard to see and a large dent in the upper top side. This is part of the famous Aurora WWI series of 1/48 scale aircraft. The series began in 1956 and Aurora added new kits into the early 1960s. The line proved incredibly popular, so these kits were included in the 'mold upgrade' in the 1970s before Aurora went out of business. | |||

| Still factory sealed but the seal is torn on the box side and the box has damage to the upper right corner. Dated 1959 and has the Parent's Seal. Nice early kit of the famous and dreaded 'Flying Razor' of WWI.

This is part of the famous Aurora WWI series of 1/48 scale aircraft. The series began in 1956 and Aurora added new kits into the early 1960s. The line proved incredibly popular, so these kits were included in the 'mold upgrade' in the 1970s before Aurora went out of business. | |||

1/8 #471 Aurora
The Silver Knight of Augsberg Fair Injection Molded old | ||
| Classic and very popular Aurora knight kit from the original molds. This example is from the 1963 release from Aurora of Great Britain. Large 1/8 scale kit is molded gloss silver and has the original purple plume (an odd color). The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts, plume and excellent instructions. In the mid 1950s, Aurora bought three 'Knight' molds from Crown Plastics and issued them as K1, K2 and K3. These were the very first Aurora figure kits and they sported the 1956-only rectangular 'Northern Lights' logo with the correct 'Crown Line' logo inside it. The sales success of the Knight prompted Aurora to launch an entire line of figure kits. The knights themselves stayed in production long after many other figures were discontinued. | |||

1/43 #116-98 Aurora
Curtiss Hawk P-6E VG Injection Molded old | ||
| The kit is dated 1958, but this is obviously a later issue as the Aurora logo does not say 'Famous Fighters' in the boarder and has no sunburst.
