Aurora 1/72 USAF 4 Stage Lunar Probe with Launch Pad and Service Tower (SM-75 Thor), 385-249 plastic model kit

1/72 385-249 Aurora USAF 4 Stage Lunar Probe with Launch Pad and Service Tower (SM-75 Thor)

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Fair+

NOTE: Builder kit only, please see below. Very rare kit. First and only issued dated 1959. This is the SM-75 Thor kit with additional parts for the top end to change the IRBM to a Pioneer Satellite Launch Vehicle. Features removable nose cone to show the satellite, retro-rocket and "Pioneer Rocket". Full launch pad, service tower, launch crew and flexible fuel and control lines are also included. Never started. The missile and probe parts are still factory sealed. NOTE: The launch pad and service tower are missing one (of six) toggle braces, one control cable connector (of three) and one 'K' brace (of two). The toggle brace and K brace could be easily made from stock plastic. The tiny cable connector could be made but is more challenging - you could also cast one in resin from the two that are present. Otherwise inventoried with all other parts, decals, wire and instructions.
