The yellow vehicle (top right) in the Apollo exploration set is the same vehicle as shown in MikePhil's set as shown in an older blog. It was one of at least six small space vehicles also marketed separately. (I know, I had them!)

Wow Andy! They were sold seperately! Wish I'd bought some back then. Wasted my spends on toffees [hance my gappy smile!]. That Mikephil set has appeared on the blog a while back but I know nothing about Mikephil.
