Reader Chris recently pointed out the resemblance between Star Trek's Shuttle Pod NX-01 [picture from the brilliant Fantastic Plastic] and Imperial's Apollo Moon Exploring space pod below.
Reading Fantastic Plastic's description of the Star Trek NX-01 kit remarks on the passing resemblance to the hovercraft in Logan's Run, so I've included a picture of it here too to see what you think.

Any more similar space vehicles to these three?

There's a rocket by Zee Toys on eBay that has a vehicle listed on the back that's similar to the Apollo moon space pod.

Nice one James, I like the Zee versions of this set. Lots of toy companies had a go at them including Lincoln, AHI [Azrak Hamway], Blue Box and many more. They come in different sizes too and some are carded and some are boxed. I only have a few of them but collecting them would make a great collection in itself and Imperial's and LP's versions will always link them to Apollo Moon Exploring, then to Spacex and ultimately to SWORD. Ebay is a great place to find them. Over the years me and Wote have blogged about them many times.
There's a LINCOLN version of the space gliders stablemate, the rocket, on ebay at the mo. Nice box. Its the first Lincoln version I've seen: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lincoln-Rocket-Space-Patrol-MIB-made-Hong-Kong-/160872466333?_trksid=p4340.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D1647995856303607459%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D1%26
