CAVE

The cave is one of the key pieces in the Prehistoric
scenes series, without which the large Dinosaurs
cannot be linked to the Tar Pit and its surrounding
models.

The first edition of this kit was released in 1971, along
with the Tar Pit, Allosaurus, Neanderthal Man,
Cro-Magnon man and woman, the Flying Reptile and the
Saber Tooth Tiger.

This edition had a picture of the Allosaurus, visible
throught the cave mouth, on the box. The picture was
changed, by removing the Allosaurus, in later Aurora
issues (1972 onwards) due to complaints that, either the
picture was either historically inaccurate, or mislead
customers into believing that the Allosaurus was
included with the kit. The box size also changed
(becoming larger) when the artwork changed.

This really is a superb kit. The five part base, and three
cave walls can be combined in numerous different ways,
to great effect. The kit has been designed so that the
addition of a second cave can allow the creation of an
almost completely enclosed cave. It is also possibel to
add the Cave Bear into the scene, instead of half of the
second cave.

The cave also comes with tool, weapons and a fire.

I have heard that it is possible to mount the Flying
Reptile on the cave roof. But I've tried and you can't
