Original hardbox issue from 1957 of the Aurora 'Guys and Gals' series. Aurora's figure kit line was extensive, popular and dominated this niche market. The Chinese Mandarin is one of the rarer and had a short production run. The kit features highly detailed outfit, necklace, hat, braided hair and a display base with a raised map of China and the location & names of the major cities. The kit has never been started. Inside, it even has the original factory tissue packing paper. The model has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts and instructions present. The instructions are in 'excellent' condition.

Still factory sealed. These decals are 'mint' condition and have always been stored in a climate controlled residence. Includes the markings & paint guide sheet. On this website are two articles that fully explain how to save or reproduce older decals; please read read these before using any older model kit or aftermarket decals. Because USPS handles envelopes roughly, I will only ship decals in a box; so to save on shipping, order decals with model kits so they ship together.

These decals are 'mint' condition and have always been stored in a climate controlled residence; however. Includes paint and markings guide. On this website are two articles that fully explain how to save or reproduce older decals; please read read these before using any older model kit or aftermarket decals. Because the USPS clearly states that any flexible envelope will be bent 90 degrees or more within 2 inches due to automatic sorting machines, I cannot send decals in a flexible envelope. And any decal reinforced with cardboard will be equal to or greater than 1/4" thick, which USPS says must go at the normal 'box' rate. There is no choice; because I will not knowingly send decals to destruction, they will only ship in a box. So to eliminate or save significantly on shipping charges, please order them with model kits. Likewise, if you only purchase decals, try to order enough decals make the shipping cost (per sheet) worth while.

Still factory sealed and very rare in an amazing, investment grade 'Sealed Near Mint++' box. This is the finest K-36 issue that I have seen and it came from the stock of a long-closed hobby shop. It was never put out for sale and never saw the light of day until now. The seal is 100% intact with no splits. The colors are perfect and factory fresh. The box top has no fading or dents. All four corners are crisp and as they left the factory. There has never been any tape, stickers or price tags on this box. The box top has one very light and short (1 inch) crease at the lower right corner; however, it is so indistinguishable that it did not show up in the photo. The box bottom does have one minor crease that looks like it happened at the factory. This is the Saturn V that is 43.25 inches high and 3.93 inches in diameter. Recommended engine is the D12-3 or three C6-3; includes Technical Report TR-6 on Engine Clustering. Please NOTE that this kit must be shipped along (with no other kits that could damage it) and in a double box to preserve the condition.
