Aurora Albatross D-3 - (Albatros DIII), 1/48, 104-69
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: VG++
Sold
Rare. Please note, this is a 'Famous Fighers' logo kit with the Parents' Magazine Logo and a 69 cent price extension. This is the first time I have seen a non-79 cent version of this kit. Just when you think you have Aurora figured out, another variation comes along! That would make this the true second issue of this kit - only two issues have the 69 cent extension, 1956 and 1957. Aurora had a big supply of these 69 cent boxes but the factory overstamped it and added the 79 cent extension. The kit is molded in gloss dark green and black. The kit has never been started. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. The decals are 'excellent+' and the instructions are mint. The kit even includes the original Aurora factory tissue paper.
