Aurora Lockheed F-104 Starfighter, 1/62, 82-79
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM-
Sold
Rare. 1964 hardbox issue. 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 box is in exceptional 'Near Mint'-' condition. Color, gloss and all four corners are as new. No tape, tape marks, price tags or tag marks. Light corner and edge wear are the only flaws. Molded in gloss medium gray and clear. 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.
Aurora North American B-70 Valkyrie Bomber (XB-70A), 1/105, 370-249
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc
Sold
Still factory sealed but the box has a difficult-to-see crease in the top 1/3. First issue hardbox from 1962. This box has, in my opinion, some of the best Jack Leynnwood box art. Jack primarily did Revell artwork, but since he was freelance, he did others as well. At this point, the XB-70 was planned for production, so the kit is called the B-70 and the artwork shows a winter night-time quick turn around of a SAC B-70 while another Valkyrie roars overhead after takeoff. The box is in excellent condition with very little wear, four solid corners, no repairs, stains,price tag or tape/tape marks. Very large kit with 6 detailed General Electric J93-3 engines, landing gear and clear canopy.
