1- Simple standard display stand |
||
|
Airfix has always chamionned simple standard stands . Here you have the two versions used with « series1 » and « series2 » kits : on the left the modern type(from 1965 to about 1990 ), on the right the old style (before 1965) There were variants in the style of the slot arrangement. You got three perfectly similar versions that grew larger with the kit (élévation (about) 5; 7 ; and10 cm). A few kits got the larger 10 cm elevation model molded in black like the 2000 vintage reissue of the Orion Spacecraft. |

Aurora also promoted a standard clear stand with two different size 7 and 10 cm and most notably a different map engraved for a different market : on the left you see the model for the European market , on the right the two Americas for the American market |

The « European » map of Aurora is rather oddly pictured (underlined in blue here) and displays an unified Germany with Berlin as its capital (in red here) (this particular sample comes from a 1958 vintage kit) |
