1/8 471 Aurora The Silver Knight of Augsberg
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair++
Aurora of England issue most likely from the late mid to late 1960s. Classic and very popular Aurora knight kit from the original molds. Large 1/8 scale model is molded gloss silver and includes the yellow plume in surprisingly excellent condition. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried and NOTE: missing the two smallest parts, #38 (Visor Hook) and #3 (Plume holder). Each can be made. Otherwise includes all other parts, plume and instructions. The Knight kits have a fascinating history. 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 and they sported the 1956-only rectangular 'Northern Lights' logo with the correct 'Crown Line' logo inside it. The sales success of the Knight prompted Aurora to launch an entire line of figure kits. The knights themselves stayed in production long after many other figures were discontinued.
