Prehistoric scenes kits from Aurora/Atlantis

#1 Post by Tim Fortuna »

Was there a nameplate for the Triceratops? I have a chum who got the kit but no nameplate. Did it come with one and what did it say?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Here you go, Tim. :D

Edit: This is a resin reproduction of the original that was recently on ebay UK. This is the correct format however, as there is a photo of a nameplate for the Aurora Styracosaurus online and it is in this same format.

Yeah. Revell screwed up the nameplate in the 2007 reissue.

So, it's been blank ever since. Several people have produced reproduction nameplates pulled from any that were made before that.

Very interesting Trev, always neat to hear the history.

I have these available now if anyone needs one.
