Good evening everyone,
Being a big fan of the tv series Man from U.N.C.L.E. since first watching the original 1960's shows I was very happy one day to come across this built up Illya Kuryakin aurora model which when connected to the Napoleon Solo 1966 model makes one complete scene. My original model was lost many years ago as is the case with many of our childhood toys.
This Illya model has survived a few moves and when I finally settle down in life will finally be a permanent fixture along side my other uncle items.
I hope one day to come across the built up Napoleon Solo model to complete the whole scene as my original Napoleon model is unbuilt and in the original box and I don't have any plans on building this model.
Thank Kurt happy you enjoy it!!
One of the shows I've never watched. I do appreciate the importance and coolness of the scene. A memory of childhood is my favorite part of collecting.
You and me both Roy. Having an original toy from our childhood is great. Being able to buy something we have fond memories of although it isn't our actual toy is something collectors enjoy and we do it whenever we can. Thank you for dropping by your comments are always much appreciated:)
This is terrific!! Love it Roddy!
Thank you so much TassieDevil it brings back many good memories:))
Very cool. I never knew about this one and here it is an Aurora model. Looks like it is painted well too.
This is what appealed to me when I first saw it fortapache was how well it had been painted. My original Illya Kuryakin model was painted no where close to this. I was very young at the time I painted mine:))
That is really very cool! In such amazing condition still!
Hi Scott it is painted very well by the person I bought it from. I've been lucky moving it around without doing any damage.
It was a great series while it lasted valentino97 we do get older for sure but our memories are part of what keeps us young inside:) This is too cool calling your hamster man from uncle!! Great comment thanks for dropping by.
