John, when I was a boy the Aurora Seaview model kit was extremely illusive back in 1977. I first saw Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea in reruns Monday through Fridays on a local UHF television station in which they only aired the color seasons two, three and four. With the assistance of my parents I searched hobby shops and toy sections of stores but never found this model kit. The pain comes from the fact I had seen one kit in a store days before I first saw Voyage never realizing how much I would want the Seaview kit.
