Description

Green Beret (#413-98) & George Washington (#852-198) Aurora Models Sealed (Aurora, 1965-66). Aurora's history-in-plastic line captured both modern valor and founding-era heroism, and these two kits showcase that range with original cellophane still in place. The 1966 Green Beret (#413-98) embodies mid-'60s Special Forces mystique at the height of Vietnam-era pop culture, its bold cover art depicting the elite soldier with a hand grenade. Cellophane remains intact, while edges and corners show only the expected light rub from decades of shelf life. Paired with it is the 1965 George Washington (#852-198), a patriotic centerpiece that lets hobbyists assemble the father of the nation astride the Delaware crossing scene. Its wrap is likewise present and clear, protecting bright artwork; corner wear is modest, with minimal scuffing on the panels. Unbuilt and waiting for display or a careful glue-up, this duo offers a snapshot of Aurora's ability to turn real-world icons-past and present-into must-build projects for the Golden Age hobbyist.
