I haven't looked, but I am assuming that this entire book exists somewhere on the Internet, probably on archive.org or something, as Aurora fans are both legion as well as ravenous AND insatiable. Therefore, we will not waste time here with every page of sailing ships, airplanes, and model cars, but cut right to the chase! It's what you came here to see anyhow!
Godzilla (and King Kong) make a cameo appearance in this group shot, which is right inside the cover.
And now the monster section, in its entirety, at last! 1969 (the previous year) introduced the first famous "glow kits," wherein Aurora reissued monster kits with new, glow-in-the-dark parts. This page here gives us a full-page look at the Frankenstein artwork!
The crown jewels of the glow kits being Godzilla and Kong, of course. I have said this before, but it must have been pretty sweet to get tucked into bed at night, and have the Godzilla model you built watch over you with glowing head and hands, as you fell asleep!
We conclude with the second-most-interesting section of the catalog!
Note that The Penguin is included under the "Heroes" title, which I guess should've read "HEROES......and also one villain."
As always, good stuff from Aurora, the definition of a truly timeless brand!
