Monogram Douglas DC-10 American Airlines - (ex Aurora - Molds Modified), 1/144, 5413
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good
Sold
1978 issue after Monogram bought Aurora's assets. Monogram only reissued the best and most commercially viable models, and the DC-10 fell into that category- but only after Monogram highly modified the molds to make it more accurate. The result is possibly the best early DC-10 Series 10 kit in this scale. First, Monogram made the fuselage smooth - no windows. Then they added very, very fine raised panel lines to all surfaces and added flap hinge covers (fairings) to the lower wings. Contains excellent, full American Airlines and window decals. This kit has not been started. The parts are still in the factory sealed bag. Includes decals and instructions.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Good

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.

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.
