ReplyDeleteWow. No joking around John. I owned and assembled some of these kits. I specifically recollect vividly the Tar Pit and the Triceratops. So cool you uncovered these images. WOW! I adored these models and once assembled they adorned my shelves throughout my childhood.

Awesome! The only thing better than these model kits was the box art... I still have many of the Prehistoric Scene models (lovingly displayed on a shelf in my basement!), but haven't seen that artwork in years... thanks for posting, John!
