Aurora Russian Nuclear Powered Bomber - (M-50/M-52 Bounder), 1/182, 128-98
Plastic Model Kit, Box Condition: Exc
Sold
1959 one-and-only release with colorful Jo Kotula artwork. This kit bears much resemblance to the 'Bounder' bomber. In the late 1950s, a drawing of the Bounder appeared in a popular aviation magazine; it is widely assumed that Aurora made the kit from that drawing. Aurora's push to always be first with new subject matter resulted in some errors in judgment which resulted in some incredibly rare kits like this one. Molded in the correct gloss light gray & clear. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present. The decals are 100% intact, just starting to curl and in 'excellent+' condition. The instructions are in amazing 'near mint+' condition with slight age yellowing as the only flaw. The box top is 'excellent'. It is solid with great color and gloss, no repairs, no price tags or tape (other than the factory sealing tape of course), no rips, tears or fading but it has wear along the top edge as shown and very light general wear throughout.
