Aurora Hiller X-18 Convertiplane, 1/70, 146-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Fair-
Sold
Rare ex-Comet kit and the first Aurora issue as evidenced by the 98 cent price extension. When Aurora bought the Comet molds in 1963, they released this kit for the next few years but never again. Features recessed panel detail, spinning counter-rotating props and tilting wing. The aircraft is considered the 'Grandfather of the V-22 Ospry'. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing one piece, nose strut. Otherwise includes all other parts, decals and instructions. NOTE: the box would grade better, but there are 50 or 60 small holes poked through from the back of the box top. They don't show up well in the photo but you can certain see them in person; hence the low box grade of 'Fair-'.
