Default RE: Aurora 60 Build Thread - Electric Power

8178, I never looked at the 2 photos that close but I think you're right! And significant differences at that. Not only does Naruke's canopy start further back, it seems smaller both in length and height, and the high point looks further back along the fuse as well.

Anyone out there know if Naruke had several prototypes of the Aurora? Perhaps the design underwent a bit of tweaking along the way. I'm assuming that MK would make a point of being accurate when kitting a design....?? To be honest though, I much prefer the front end looks of Helms' Aurora. A point to ponder is that Steve had his 2 airplanes built for him by craftsmen in Japan I believe. We can't necessarily assume that they built them from MK kits.
