Sad news. Andy Yanchus, who worked for Aurora from 1965 to 1975 and was responsible for many classic Aurora kits, passed away on 11th September 2021.
He was also a modeller, and historian, and worked with Max from Max's Models on The Aurora Files. He also co-authored a book on the Aurora Monster Scenes kits.
This is the tribute to Mr Yanchus by Max.

Many of us will have built at least some of the kits he had a hand in. RIP.

Sad news. I was fascinated by his work as a model kit historian.
ReplyDeleteLike so much in the past half century, so much has changed that it was only the people who were actually there who can tell of it...
Sad to hear. He was also an ace colourist for Marvel Comics, and I believe he did other things for them as well.
ReplyDeleteVery sad news Kid I agree.
