THUNDERBIRDS KNOCKOFFS: ROCKET FIGHTERS BY BILL EARLE

Hi Woodsy
Not sure whether your web site has dealt with Rocket Fighters as of yet. In case it hasn't then I'm attaching images showing two which I own. The designs for these appear to have been heavily influenced by Thunderbirds; not unlike Thunderbird 7 which was inspired by craft from Project SWORD.
