1/12th scale, styrene, Doll and Hobby repop of Aurora kit
Nameplate by Tim Fortuna

 

With the supplied "soldiers" backdrop....

 

... and with the supplied "prison" backdrop, which is printed on the other side.

I tried to build this kit when I was a kid and then again in my thirties. I didn't have the patience for it!

This was the straw that broke the camel's back for Aurora back in the sixties.
Parents hit the roof when they saw what their kids wanted to build next.
Can't say as I blame them - what was Aurora thinking?
(Next in line would've been The Hanging Tree, better known as the Lynching Tree, but it was shelved before it was released.)

 

 

 

The blade looks pretty disgusting...
