As you know I'm a great fan of Anderson knockoffs, which are often more interesting than the real thing! The other day I mentioned the wonderful THUNDERCOP. Well look at this that's currently on Ebay US - completely new to me and the blog - an Italian TB knockoff carded set called STAZIONE SPAZIALE or Space Station. We have a TB2 with white pod (what's inside?), an even larger TB4 (!) and best of all an unidentified jet, which is very SWORDY/ SPACEXY! I love it. There's 7 of them too! Wonder what the year of manufacture was?
What is the silver object beneath "Thunderbird" 4? Is it my imagination, or does it have a SWORD-like symbol on it?
ReplyDeleteThe wing and engine arangement on that orange and silver jet resembles a classic Colonial Viper.
ReplyDeleteIs the Swoed-like symbol a reflection of the red lettering beneath? And what does a colonial viper come from - Star Wars, B.Galactica?
ReplyDeleteI suspect you are correct, WOODSY - it probably is a reflection.
ReplyDeleteViper is from Battlestar Galactica, and I can see the resemblance now Rocket Punch has pointed it out.
