  Aurora Model Kits
1/84  #752  Aurora
Boeing PGH-2 Tucumcari Hydrofoil
Exc   Injection Molded   old
$125

This is the 'Young Model Builders Club' box issue. The kit inside has not been started. All parts and paperwork is still sealed in the internal factory bag. This issue is from 1972 - this kit was first released in 1969. In the late 1960s Aurora went to great lengths in improve new kit quality. This is one of those kits; as a result, it is well detailed and to scale. Kit features retracting forward and aft hydrofoils, detailed dual .50 caliber machine guns, 40mm gun and gunner and 81mm Mortar, interior cabin details and clear windows, 5 other crew members and a display stand.

Convair B-58 Hustler
Good+++   Injection Molded   old
$155

Rare box art. This is the second release of the largest scale (1/76) Hustler released by Aurora. (The other two releases were the ex-Comet 1/96 and 1/175 scale). The hardbox is dated 1964. The box art is dramatic, but not signed by the artist. This kit was issued with the Jo Kotula box art for several years, this artwork for a few short years, then the "Big A" artwork till Aurora went out of business in the 1970s. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions.

Seaview Submarine from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea - Original Issue
Poor   Injection Molded   old
$55

Original 1966 issue hardbox. The box had something glued to it at the lower left as you can see. Other than that, the box would grade 'Very Good'. It has bright colors and four solid corners. Inside, the kit has never been started. It is molded in the correct black and clear and includes the ocean base. The kit has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts and excellent instructions. Please note that Aurora did not issue this kit with decals. NOTE: the lower hull strip is broken. The two broken halves do not fit together well, so some light filling will be needed.

KC-135 Jet Stratotanker (707 Prototype 367-80)
VG-   Injection Molded   old
$45

Aurora of Canada issue dated 1964. This kit is from ex-Comet molds and is the smaller of the two issues. Actually, this is a Dash 80, the 707 prototype.

Inventoried 100% complete with all parts decals and instructions.

Sealed Exc++   Injection Molded   old
$65

Still sealed with the factory tape on both long ends. 1960s Aurora of Great Britain issue with brilliant box art. Kit contains large 1/8 scale knight, base, plume and 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.

VG-   Injection Molded   old
$145

Rare 1968 hardbox issue with a beautiful box photo of a Eastern 727 at night on the ramp, ready for boarding forward and aft with airstair door extended. Inside, the kit is molded in the correct white with the clear Aurora 'Globe' stand base and arm.

1/81  #285-39  Aurora
Aero Commander
Exc+   Injection Molded   old
$155

Second Aurora release (39 cent price extension) from ex-Comet molds. Dated 1963 but likely from the mid 1960s. Nicely molded kit with all recessed details, clear cabin and cockpit windows and display stand. This kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. The Aero Commander was a state-of-the-art twin engine light transport from the early 1960s. It was built by Aero Design and Engineering Co. of Bethany, Oklahoma. It was the first twin engine aircraft to be used by the President of the United States and served in this capacity in the early 1960s. This high performance 5 to 7 place was popular with business travelers and had a range of 1,050 miles and a ceiling of 22,000 feet. The Aero Commander led to the Jet Commander, which became the IAI 1121 through 1124 Westwind business jets. Aero Commanders can still be seen at some airports in excellent condition, but many are neglected as newer aircraft are in favor.
1/25  #828-300  Aurora
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Sealed Mint   Injection Molded   old
$425

Still factory sealed and in investment-grade condition. Very rare kit issued in 1968 and never again. The box itself is mint with as-new color and no crushing or creases. The factory seal is still completely sealed. The only flaw is a price-tag size area missing the clear. This obviously happened when someone tried to remove the price tag. There are no other flaws in the seal. This kit must be shipped insured.
1/62  #283-50  Aurora
Cessna 310
NM++   Injection Molded   old
$175

1963 issue from ex-Comet molds. The box is in stunning 'Near Mint++' investment-grade condition with amazing color and gloss. Neatly molded with all recessed panel lines, clear side and front windows, tip tanks, rotating propellers, display stand and full pinstripe decals. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Aurora had started a line of inexpensive 29 cent kits in about 1957. The line was a success, and it was expanded. The line grew again when Aurora purchased the Comet molds, as most of Comet's line was very small scale kits, many of them civil aircraft like this one. It appears that Aurora was encouraged by the sale of the ex-Comet civil aircraft, as it expanded the line with it's own molds in the early 1960s.
