1/64 280-50 Aurora Piper Apache - (ex Comet)
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc+
1963 issue and still the only injection molded Apache kit. From ex-Comet molds and features all recessed panel lines, clear windows, rotating propellers and color decals. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions. Aurora had started a line of inexpensive 29 cent kits in about 1957. The line was a success, and it was expanded. The line grew again when Aurora purchased the Comet molds, as most of Comet's line was very small scale kits, many of them civil aircraft like this one. It appears that Aurora was encouraged by the sale of the ex-Comet civil aircraft, as it expanded the line with it's own molds in the early 1960s.
