Addar
Model Kit Navy 1975 Ship in a Bottle Constitution MIB
The story goes that many of the Aurora (THE definitive character model
kit producing company of the 1950's, 1960's and 1st half of the 1970s)
staff left shortly after Aurora was acquired by Nabisco and major
management changes were made. Many of these ex-Aurora employees
would start the Addar company. Short lived as it was (Addar existed only
from 1973-1976 and produced only 38 models in 34 boxes), Addar did create
a few very nice character based model kits - from Evel Knievel, Planet of
the Apes, and JAWS. Addar started off on the right foot when they acquired
the licensing rights to the Planet of the Apes movies. A figure of Galen
was planned but never released when Addar ceased production in late 1976.
Addar would also release this"Ship in a Bottle" series of sailing ships.
