Kit #30098-100. Designed by George Barris. 1:25 scale.

Aurora's 1969 'Archie's Car' plastic model kit is a notable collectible from the late 1960s, produced during the height of both Aurora's popularity and the Archie Comics franchise. The kit is in 1/25 scale and features a stylized vintage automobile, accompanied by figures of Archie, Veronica, and the dog Hot Dog, as depicted on the box art. Aurora was renowned for its licensed character kits, and this particular release capitalized on the widespread appeal of Archie Comics among American youth. The box art is distinctive, with bright, cartoonish illustrations that reflect the comic's aesthetic. The kit itself, when complete, includes detailed plastic parts for assembly and painting, and the inclusion of character figures adds to its desirability among both model kit collectors and Archie memorabilia enthusiasts. Authenticity is determined by the Aurora logo, the specific box design, and the presence of all original parts and instructions. Collectibility is enhanced by the kit's age, the enduring popularity of the Archie franchise, and the relative scarcity of unbuilt, complete examples. Condition of the box, presence of all figures, and completeness of the kit are critical factors influencing value. Prices for this kit vary significantly based on condition, rarity, and current market demand.

The Douglas Aircraft Corp. SBD Dauntless dive bomber became a mainstay of the U.S. Navy’s World War II air fleet in the Pacific, with the lowest loss ratio of any U.S. carrier-based aircraft. Douglas delivered a total of 5,936 SBDs between 1940 and the end of production in July 1944. 

The Dauntless was developed at the Douglas Northrop facility at El Segundo, Calif., and was based on the Northrop Model 8 attack bomber developed for both the Army and the export market. The SBD Dauntless featured “Swiss cheese” flaps — dive brakes punched with 3-inch holes — so that it could achieve pinpoint accuracy by diving to the target, dropping the bomb and then pulling out of the near-vertical dive.
 

In addition to the U.S. Navy, Marine Corps and Army Air Forces, the Dauntless served air forces in New Zealand and Mexico. 

The first enemy ship sunk by the U.S. Navy in World II is credited to a Dauntless from the USS Enterprise. The diving Dauntless went on to destroy 18 enemy warships, including a battleship and six carriers.

He succeeded brilliantly. Tests of the first model 17 in 1932 yielded performance figures superior to many fighter planes of the day!
