Aurora Fokker D-VII - (D7), 1/48, 106-100
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed Mint
$44
Still mint factory seal and in investment-grade condition. Kit is dated 1958, but still has original 1956 box art. The actual issue date is from the mid-1960s due to the 1 dollar price extension and the blue oval logo. Aurora's 1/48 scale WWI line debuted in 1956 with six new kits, and the D-7 was #6. The line proved so successful that Aurora added kits almost every year well into the 1960s. Many of them sold well right up until the end of Aurora in 1976.
Aurora McDonnell F-4H Phantom, 1/48, 394-249
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM
$129
Rare and even more so in superb, investment-grade 'Near Mint' box condition. This large-scale, early Phantom kit with great Jo Kotula box artwork is dated 1961 but actually from '64 or '65 judging from the lack of 'Famous Fighters' in the logo border. The box has fantastic color and gloss, four solid corners, no tape/tape marks and no price tags or tag marks. The only flaw is very light wear. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts present and includes decals and instructions.
Aurora Bristol F2B Brisfit - (F-2B), 1/48, 113-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: NM+
$78
1957 first issue with dramatic Jo Kotula artwork. The box is in amazing, investment-grade 'Near Mint' condition. Color and gloss are perfect, as are the four corners. There are no price tags or tape and no marks from either (other than the factory sealing tape, of course). There is no fading, cuts, tears, stains or missing litho. The only flaws are very light wear, mainly on the edges. Molded in the correct gloss dark olive and black plastic. The kit inside is mint and never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions. Decals and instructions are both flat and 'excellent' with typical yellowing as the only flaw.

Aurora Albatross CIII - (Albatros C.III / C-III), 1/48, 142-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Sealed NM
$59
Still factory sealed and in amazing investment-grade 'Near Mint' condition. Dated 1963 but is actually a mid 60s issue due to the lack of 'Famous Fighters' in the border of the box side logos. This is just one of the many incredibly successful 1/48 scale WWI aircraft kits from Aurora. A few years after settling into the new plant at West Hempstead, one of the the major projects was to launch this line in 1956. New subjects were added as late as the early 1960s. The line was so successful that many were selling right up until the end of Aurora in 1976.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+++
$139
Rare first issue from 1956 with Northern Lights logo. The box is in beautiful "Excellent+++" condition with factory-new color & gloss and four solid corners. There is no fading, no stains, no tears or missing litho, no creases and no price tags or tag marks. It would have graded 'Near Mint' but there is a very small (11mmx 5mm) factory tape pull on the upper long side. Molded in the correct gloss deep green with flexible black treads. Never started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.
Aurora Curtiss Hawk P-6E, 1/43, 116-98

Inventoried 100% complete with all parts decals and instructions present.
Aurora Martin B-26 Marauder - Famous Fighters Of All Nations, 1/46, 371-259
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
$275
Very rare first issue from the early 1950s. When Aurora moved to the West Hempstead plant, they planned a series of very large scale bombers. All kits released up to this time had been small. Aurora's instincts were correct, and the B-26, B-25 and B-29 were a big sales success. This box art was done by Jim Cox and was only used for about one year, making it very rare. The kit has never been started and is inventoried 100% complete with all parts, large clear stand, instructions and decals. The box has great color, four solid corners with no repairs, no creasing, no stains, fading or writing, no cardboard tears or rips, no price tags and no tape beyond the factory sealing tape. There is light general wear and please note that the box displays slightly better than the 'Excellent' grade but it is rated as such because there is light general wear not visible in the photo and a 1.5" x 3/8" factory tape tear on the top long side.

Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG+

The box has excellent color, four solid corners with no repairs, no fading and no price tags. The only tape is the factory sealing tape on the long sides. There is light general shelf wear and edge wear as shown.
