AURORA Kit No.30-100, FOCKE-WULF 190, 1/48, - 100% COMPLETE, Vintage 1960
Aurora Products Corp. kit made in West Hempstead, L.I., N.Y., printing by Aurora, USA, Decal set from Aurora. Now long out of production and never re-kitted after this release, this is the 1960 re-box of the original 1954 Aurora first tool issue. This kit, as defined within the instruction sheet, was on the kit shelves in 1962 and given its price increase to $1.00 and its sunset logo, this kit may be even a '65-'66 vintage by Aurora. The box art, possibly by Kotula, shows a defending pair of FW-190's sweeping through a smoking formation of US ARMY B-17's.
Kit includes molded in pilot figure, clear canopy, rotating propeller, detailed landing gear, and the famous clear triangular display stand which incorporates a triangular decal and "Aurora Plastics Corp" molded within the stand. The kit retains the 1950's tooling details of scribed air frame lines, rivets, access cover details and decal placement features.
