Rare first issue from 1956 with Jim Cox 'ground scene' artwork and the 1956-only Northern Lights rectangular logo. Aurora's subject choice here was very wise, as almost every one of our US pilots in WWII flew the SNJ or T-6 during training. Features 'good' cockpit, instructor and student pilot figures, rotating propeller and wheels, full landing gear and more. The model is 100% correct inside for the early issue; it is molded in gloss yellow and clear plastic, includes the early West Hempstead clear rectangle-based stand, correct decal sheet with no stand decal and early logo instructions showing the correct, included stand.

Hardbox issue dated 1957, but from the mid 1960s due to the oval logo with the blue outline. Small scale kit with dramatic Jo Kotula box artwork is nicely molded with clear canopy, full landing gear and display stand. This is a model of the very early YF-102 prototype with the straight (non-area rule) fuselage. The kit has never been started. Inventoried 100% complete including decals and instructions. Around this time, Aurora issued a series of inexpensive (usually 29 cent) small scale kits that were designed to sell at almost any type of retail location. The line was successful and further expanded - when Aurora purchased the Comet molds, they fit in nicely with this established line.
