Check out the back cover of the Nov. 1993 issue of Military Modeler. A real
nice painting of the new Testors SR-75 + XR-7 is there. The art portrays
a mated SR-75 + XR-7 combination climbing out. This artwork was nicely done
compared to the box art on the existing SR-75 kit available in high volume
kit stores (Testors kit no. 4078). Best we can tell so far, kit no. 4078 is
NOT being sold yet in Hobby Stores.

John Andrews told me that this artwork was done by Italieri, and when Testors
saw it they said "Hey we can use that in advertising!". This is NOT the box art
for the newer higher part count Testors SR-75 model or the XR-7 Thunder Dart,
that WILL be available in Hobby Stores (maybe it will the the box art for
the Italieri kit however - who knows).

By the way, the newer SR-75 Penetrator (Testors kit no. 568) and the new
XR-7 Thunder Dart (Testors kit no. 567) should be out by the end of October.
According to John, the XR-7 instruction sheet is done and the models are
being run as we speak. The new higher part count SR-75 instruction sheet was
just sent to the printer and its runs are scheduled to begin very soon.

So if you want some nice artwork that shows conceptually what the 'Aurora'
is all about, or you're trying to convince your local Hobby Shop that for
the past several months you DID know what you were talking about, check out
the back of the Nov. issue of Military Modeler.
