in 1975, aurora re-issued the kit (now renamed "rocket transport spindrift"), with new box art and photos of the assembled kit. it had a front top section which could be lifted off, revealing a full interior that had to be constructed by the builder, as well as a working door. most of the model kit was molded in the same bright red-orange as the ship itself, while the interior was molded in a light green which could be painted.
