FLYING REPTILE - SNAP TOGETHER - 1:13 SCALE
Kit # 734 Designed by - ??? Sculpted by Bill Lemon Box Art - ??? Instruction Illustration - ???
15 pieces. Molded in orange. Another '71 first wave kit that is a little plain. Kind of dull. Pretty easy to find since it has been reissued a lot and the reissues are complete. So builders can be happy with any version they can find. The head pivots on a ball socket. Usually found with missing wing connectors. Reissues go by Pteranodon. New Revell issue named 'Klaw'

Revell #6335

Apparently a company by the name of Skilcraft produced this 2 pack using the original molds.
At this time, I know very little about the company or what else they might have produced or when.
It does come with a neat backdrop that is on the displays page.

Interesting photo. Has a 1971 box, but a b&w instruction sheet, that I thought weren't used until the later releases.
EDIT - This is an overseas version. Those usually had the b&w instructions and the only box differences were on the very top.

PARTS LIST

			My first actual Aurora model of my adult childhood. This model comes with and extra "BATTLE SCARRED" wing, that you can use for a different look. You can either mount it to its rocky base, or hang it from a string to simulate flying There is a hook in the back of the model to tie the supplied string to. I don't know if the original actually came with the string or not. The reissues don't. I have seen a lot of these that are missing the connector pieces that hold the outer wings to the body. I have 2 like that myself. About the only part that moves on this model is the head. It swivels and pivots.. This model will also mount to the rock on the base of the three horned dinosaur. I have also been told that you can attach it on a certain part of the cave roof, but I haven't had much luck getting it to stay there. _____________________________ Added 9/19/07 Ooooo! Thanks to Kurt Christensen there has been a new place discovered for the Cromagnon Woman to go.
