FL NOTE
Some of the FL KITS were shipped with the 1st Ed. instructions. Those kits included this slip of paper to explain the glow-in-the-dark option. The FL Instructions incorporated the text right into the page, as seen above and in the close-up at right.
DETAIL
"Ghoulish Glow Power" LOL.
CANADIAN ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS
CANADIAN COVER
Note the bilingual text, the new kit #, and the "GLOW" title, in that super groovy font!
CANADIAN INNER PAGES
These included bilingual text, as well as contact information for Aurora in Canada, England, Australia, & Holland. The real estate
required for all that makes for a rather
crowded layout.
Looks like some monster kid was doing
a color test on this page!
CANADIAN BACK COVER
The promo text was moved to this page, but unfortunately, there was only room for the English version.
U.K. ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS
FRONT SIDE
The instructions for the English FL Kit were on a single page. They included the promo text and "Ghoulish Glow Power" message. A painting diagram served as the cover art.
BACK SIDE
The back contained just the assembly diagram and step-by-step instructions. There were no ads for other Aurora kits or catalog coupon.
All in all, a very bare bones affair.
INNER PAGES
Note the added "glowing" effect on specific parts, including the added knot for the rope belt.
Also, the ad for paints has been swapped out for the glue ad, and scale info has been added.
