HOVER PROBE FORCE 3 - REMOTE CONTROLLED VERSION


HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Yesterday I was pipped to the final post on this fabulous Hover Probe Force 3 that appeared on Ebay UK. I know several bloggers have clocked it on Ebay and I think you'll agree it's a beauty. It's very unusual and a version I haven't seen before. The NASA livery can be seen on other Hover PF3's but the two most striking features on this one are the brilliant open window box and the remote control. Awesome. It's fair to say I reckon that along with the 2001 NASA Space Glider, this toy is the only other remote controlled version outside of the big 'three' r/c's in the Century 21 range, the Zero X, Nuclear Ferry and the Cape Kennedy Set. I have asked the buyer if further pictures of the box base and sides may be forthcoming for the blog. That's looking hopeful too!
