JOE 90 A14 TANK


The Philosophic Toad (Toadus Philosphicus) has kindly sent in this screengrab of the wonderful A14 armoured tank from the JOE 90 TV episode Attack and Destroy. We're working hard to try to bring some movie clips of this and the Explosives Truck featured the other day. The A14 is shown in Dennis Nicholson's Andersonalia bible on the cover of an Arrowtab super 8 film of Attack and Destroy. Alas its tiny and in b/w. Has anyone got a colour pic of this box art that we have permission to post? The A14 reminds me of the Japanese VANGUARD model kit, a relative of the SWORDesque Lunar Climber. Here's the VANGUARD in all its glory from the breathtaking akasikogorou channel on You Tube (there'll be more on Vanguard and Lunar Climber next month).
