Looking for part from old Aurora Green Beret kit
Posted by davecww1 on Tuesday, September 11, 2012 7:46 PM

If anyone has this in the parts box, I got a built up model of the Aurora Green Beret issued in 1967 I believe.  it is missing only one part, the name plate # 19.  This is the wooden sign that says GREEN BERET SPECIAL SERVICE FORCES.  I'm looking for either a extra name plate, or a resin copy, or even a good photo next to a ruler so I can scratchbuild my own.

Thanks

Dave;

On eBay they have this resin redo of the box art.

That is alot cheaper than the original on sale at this site.

True Mike. Unfortunately the name sign on the new one does not match the original one.  Hopefully I can find someone with an original in the parts box, or someone who is willing to make a resin copy of their own original.
