Aurora Piper Apache - (ex Comet), 1/64, 280-50
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
Sold
1963 issue and still the only injection molded Apache kit. From ex-Comet molds and features all recessed panel lines, clear windows, rotating propellers and color decals. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes 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.

Unicraft Focke-Wulf FW-281 - Focke-Wulf Project VIII Turboprop Fighter - (FW.281), 1/72
Resin Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
Sold
Rare. Nicely detailed, limited-run resin kit. Never started and the parts are still in the internal factory sealed bags and includes instructions. NOTE: if this kit came with decals, then then are missing. The Focke-Wulf FW-281 was one of many of the Ta.183 projects. It resembled the previous P.VII type but the major difference was the turboprop HeS021 engine which provided the combined power of the nose propeller (driven through a long shaft) and the tailpipe exhaust. This project may have reached an advanced stage of development since it was assigned FW-281 and no "P" prefix.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Sold
Rare. This is the third issue from about 1954 with the rectangular 'Aurora Line' logo and Famous Fighters of All Nations slogan. Molded in correct gloss medium blue and clear plastic, full rivet detail, complete landing gear, correct rectangle-based clear stand and Tatem Company decals. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions prseent. The decals are almost flat and in 'excellent++' condition with sligh yellowing as the only notable flaw; the instructions are in amazing 'near mint+' condition. Even the original factory tissue packing paper is present. The Aurora issues of the 1/48 scale P-38 are interesting to say the least. The first issue is the Brooklyn kit with the P-38/B-24 box artwork. Inside, the plastic is light blue with minimal surface detail and a clear canopy and rectangular stand that says 'Aurora Plastic Corp. Brooklyn, 4, N.Y.'. There are no landing gear, gear doors or mass balances. The second issue has identical box art, plastic color, decals and rectangular stand, but the box and instructions says 'West Hempstead' instead of Brooklyn. The clear stand mold has had 'Brooklyn' milled out, and there is no location on the stand. The third issue has the all-new artwork shown in this photo and the full color 'Aurora Line' logo is used - but the big changes were on the inside. Aurora modified the molds, adding a pitot tube, elevator mass balances and landing gear struts, wheels and doors. The decals and stand remain the same, but the new instructions reflect the changes to the molds. This time the kit is molded in an attractive metallic blue. For the fourth issue, the plastic still metallic light blue and the decals and stand remain unchanged. The new details were retained. The fifth issue was 1959. The oval 'Famous Fighters' logo was used with Jo Kotula artwork of two P-38s. The detail level of the kit remained the same, but it was molded in olive drab and clear. The newer 'Triangle' base was added at this time. Further issues kept this box artwork, but the oval logo changed as well as the price extensions.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG
Sold
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. The early Aurora 'Northern Lights' logo has the correct 'Crown Line' logo inside it. Inside, the kit is mint. The shiny, very dark blue plastic parts are still sealed in the factory bag. Even the red feather plume is present and in 'excellent' condition. The instructions are correct with the Crown logo in the Aurora logo and they are in amazing 'near mint' condition. The box has wear as shown; there are a few litho chips on the upper edge, light corner wear and very general, light even wear.
Aurora Boeing B-29 Superfortress, 1/76, 372-350
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Exc++
Sold
Still factory sealed. Rare and even rarer in this condition. Aurora of Canada issue is dated 1964 and this issue retaining the same artwork as the 1956 issue. This kit has arguably the most dramatic and fanciful B-29 composition from the 'Golden Era' of modeling. Note the square 'Northern Lights' logo has been replaced with the Aurora sunburst oval logo. There is no fading or stains, tape or price tags, but there is light crease along the upper left side. Responding to market information that boys wanted larger kits, Aurora introduced the B-26 followed by the B-29 and B-25, all of which sold well for many years- almost right up until the end.
