Welcome! Aurora Park is a mini series on the ECA channel where I review and build the old Aurora 1/48th scale plastic tank kits, and / or compare them to the newly rereleased ex aurora tank kits from Atlantis models.
In this episode the model that is getting the spotlight is the an original mid 1970's vintage Aurora M46 Patton medium tank kit. This kit was released by Aurora back in the mid 1950's but was still in production up until the late 1970's. In this episode I rebuild one of these models, give the model a in box review, and go over the kits various features and the ways it was improved to the condition you see in the video.
