Only$10.00!! Aurora 1968 Original Spindrift! Cheap!!

Click on her other auctions, She has tons of old Aurora Kits going at good prices. Too bad I am wayyyyyy broke till the first.

I put them in my watching list just to see what happens....could be a good fight to the end?

many sellers start out with a LOW bidding price on items that they KNOW will sell for much higher on E-bay, since they wanna see lots of bids..I went as HIGH as $45.00 for the spindrift, and STILL got outbidded, so somebody is gonna pay MUCH more than the $10.50 that the kit is goin for right now..Since I already have a Beautiful BUILT up with an Original issue BOX, and about 8 PL repops, 4 of which are in White plastic, as well as 2 PL built ups..I dont really need it..OK..my PLs & my Aurora Issue HOWEVER, is NOT NEARLY as FANTASTICALLY WELL done as Troy's Lunar models version..but I am happy with em...:thumbsup: ..NOW..if I could ONLY outbid EVERYONE on that Zorro..sigh..Provided I had MONEY..that would be a COUP!!!

Speaking of Troy's LM Spindrift...Fluke, did you document the build with photos? I seem to remember some progress shots being posted, but I'd like to ATTEMPT that kind of a build on Polar's version (yeah, I know it's only 1/4 the size of the LM, but even getting CLOSE to what you did would make me a happy camper!)

Also, anyone know where to get the cockpit & passenger cabin upgrade kits? (If not, I can scratchbuild 'em...just looking to save some time).

Thanks!

Why is the auction concept so hard for some people to grasp?

Nothing in that link is being sold for $10.00.

You linked to an AUCTION...not a sale. The BID was $10.00 with 24 hours left for more bids.

Have you'all seen the latest price?....its over 200.00 ....man! that was a bit differet from the last I saw it before hitting the hay at 12:00 last night.

That Flying sub looks cool as well.

Hiya Frets! :wave: I did have a few 'in progress' pics but I lost them in the great crash of '03'

All that I have is on my home page: http://troysmodels.homestead.com

I would have done the same thing if I scored a pre-PL Aurora Spndrift :freak:

The Spindrift closed for 250.00 and the Flying sub for 144.50.

The price for the Spindrift 'would' have been STEAL before the PL re-release! If I remember correctly the going price for a unbuilt and complete Aurora Spindrift would have been around 300.00 US?

I am glad for Polar Lights putting out the Spindrift. I never had nor seen one until I bought the PL one. The Flying sub, I have one I built many years ago, going to rework some day. Glad not to have to get second morgage to buy them.

those were mpc i think....i could be wrong

one i'd love to see , but wont because of political incorrecteness is the "red barons ghost"

Which bid did you win....the snoopy or the Dick Tracy Aurora model kit?

I don't see the "red barons ghost" being a politicaly incorrect model kit.....not these days.
