THE
GOLDEN AGE

Celebrating
70 Years

of Models!
Who among us in this hobby doesn’t have some sort
of memory of a fond AURORA
memory? To celebrate the 70th Anniversary of AURORA MODELS we bring
to you THE GOLDEN AGE OF AURORA theme contest for June. The criteria are
simple: build any model produced by Aurora,
Polar Lights (re-pop), Monogram (who acquired the remaining Aurora molds from the
train wreck), Moebius (did a minor re-pop), Atlantis (re-pop), Doll and
Hobby (newest re-pop company). Revell USA acquired a few molds, and a
short-lived spin off company called Addar would all be acceptable. Since AURORA produced models in
every niche, there’s something for everyone, and with all the re-issues over
the years, they aren’t cost restrictive any longer.
Here is a video on YouTube on the history of Aurora:
