Only three of the N-156 prototypes were built. It developed into the F-5, which was widely exported and saw service in over 30 countries. This kit is a 'very good' representation of the rare 'Freedom Fighter' prototype N-156. The box is in amazing 'near mint+' condition with very light wear (to the corners and edges) as the only significant flaws. It has been inventoried complete with all parts and includes decals and instructions.ĭated 1962 and features fantastic Jo Kotula box artwork however, from the logo and price extension, this example is from the mid 1960s. This model is 100% correct and has never been started. Naturally the instructions are completely unique since this is a completely different kit from the Aurora USA Starfighter. Molded in silver and clear and still retains the original Comet 'teardrop' shaped two-piece stand. However, the contents and instructions gives the secret away. Simply looking at the box top, you could not tell the difference. Well, the ex-Comet molds went to Aurora of Canada! The slightly less detailed Comet kits were issued there using the same box art as their slightly more detailed Aurora USA counterparts. Aurora had no need for them, as they had already cut their own (superior) small-scale molds for those subjects. Several small-scale Comet molds (including the F-104, B-47 and B-52) were never reissued for the USA market and for decades I have wondered what happened to them. Very rare 1964 Aurora of Canada hardbox issue of the ex-Comet kit. There were many spectacular accidents but the rain did relent and there were many speeds over 100 mph in the later part.

The track was dangerously unsafe that year due to a heavy drizzle that made driving over 80 mph dangerous - at one point, drivers were required to slow down to 80 mph and passing was not allowed other than the pit area. The Miller Special had rear wheel drive, and eight cylinder 151.7 CID Miller engine and won the day averages 96.629 miles per hour. Louis Schneider and 'Jigger Johnson' (driver and mechanic) drove the Bowes Seal Special to victory in 1931. Please note that the box is 100% intact with no repairs, no split corners, tears or missing litho but is graded 'good-' because of the age foxing (brown tint) and general but very even wear as shown. It has been inventoried complete with all parts, decals and instructions.

The model features driver and mechanic figures, some interior detail, spoke wheels and very nice decals. Best originally created the line of Indianapolis 500 Winner kits Aurora purchased them shortly after their introduction and reissued them for a short time. This kit must be shipped double boxed and insured. It has been inventoried 100% complete with all parts in perfect condition, amazing 'near mint' decals (best I have ever seen on a Brooklyn issue and 'very good++' instructions with yellowing as the main flaw. The box has very good color and gloss, no fading, no tears, no price tags or tag damage, no tape (except for the factory sealing tape, of course) and is 100% intact with no split corners or repairs but only grades 'good' due to the scuffing on the left top side as shown, the litho chips (to the left of 'scale', below 'model' and on the far right lower corner as shown) and some small similar chips on the sides. The stand is the correct square one marked 'Brooklyn.' The instructions are correct Brooklyn also, and the decals are the proper early 'Tatem Company' issue with the swastika. The color is the unique first run non-metallic medium red with clear canopy and stand.

Inside, the kit is 100% correct with no rivet detail, no bombs and no landing gear. Of Aurora's 'Original Brooklyn 8,' this is usually considered the hardest one to find.
