Funny what Google throws up randomly from my archive.
Here's a nice shot of my Tarheel green Space Glider last summer, idling on a table beneath the bush.
Roll on UK sunshine! It's currently rain and hail all the time!

I was so excited when I found this plastic Breyer Horse in the Diakonie. My first as an adult! Just 2.50 Euro!
I did have some as a kid I'm sure.
I love the pose it has on its stand. The brown beast recalls my Action Man horse too and maybe the Aurora Black Fury kit.
Along with my Pferde I bagged a few plastic Matchbox-style German advertising trailer canopies and a trailer. 70 Cents the lot.
Alongside was a mint 1974 Rolamatics Weasel tank for 30 Cents.
Anything here you like?

For a bit of fun, here's the Aurora Black Fury box art circa 1969 courtesy of eBay images. It's a lot like my new Breyer! Are they connected in some way?
Work on my copy Moonship is painfully slow not being at home. Very little progress to report.
I've borrowed some lighter fluid off a chum and cleaned the plastic body thoroughly to remove the old decal adhesive.
I've snagged my corn plaster box to whittle a new transparent green windscreen from.
I've sourced a box of cake icing products by Ernesto that contains perfect-fit nacelles, which I will repaint in Blighty. The set was 50p in a charity shop here in Germany.
Trouble is, ideally I need another set to get that really long double nacelle look on both engines.
I'm now trying to find another cheap Ernesto icing set!
Still no evidence of the Tarheel brand yet, so I went back to source and that very first image. The Worthpoint sale gave up two further pictures.
So, taking all this into account I'm now sure that this Tarheel Holdings of Australia are a completely different firm to the old Tarheel plastics company from Tarboro, USA, who released Project SWORD toys in the US.
So, who are/ were Tarheel Holdings of Australia?
