N5348A did not have red registration numbers; the CAA/FAA regs of that period required them to be black. There was no red trim anywhere on the airplane, either. Colors were Coronado Yellow, Sierra Gold, and White, like those of the second display model shown.
N5348A was the second 310B built and was provided to the producers of the show at no cost.
An Aurora 310B just went for over $70 on ebay. The kit originally was produced by Comet, and I remember buying them for 29ยข at a T.G. & Y. on Camp Bowie Boulevard in Fort Worth, Texas, circa 1956.
The kit is not 1/72 scale but is closer to 1/65 scale. It's still an excellent little model, however, in spite of its lack of landing gear.
