Here are a few japanese only kits showing the incredible diversity that the far eastern kit industry has. A Gemini Capsule Recovery model, a NASA Observation Vehicle and the wonderfully exotic Q-Land Moonbase type kit! Far out!
Just a thought, But that NASA observation vehicle is surely the emergency escape vehicle which the astronauts reached by using a slide from the launch tower. It does look like a M-113 personnel carrier which all the astronauts were required to practice driving in case of a launch emergency. In his memoirs John Glenn mentioned it and said that he thought they were still using the same vehicle (this was at the time of his shuttle flight)
