Aurora Model Built Up 1974 Spiderman
Spider-Man Comic Scenes ORIGINAL
Aurora 1974 Amazing Spider-Man model kit! Aurora's 1970's reissue of their
1960's kit. Who knows why, but when reissuing their 1960's super heroes,
Aurora removed the name plates! And made other "minor" alterations to many
of the kits. When releasing Spidey, they remolded him in red (probably
figuring this would give the kids a jump start on not needing to paint him)
- but they also removed the name plate, Kraven the Hunter's gun, and a can
that laid on the floor. We're still scratching our heads over many of these
changes but including a comic book was a great idea to jazz up the line.
