PYRO SPACE CRUISER


Is the beautiful Pyro Space Cruiser above the inspiration behind the Century 21 Moonship below?
When was it manufactured? What;s the box like? Or was there a NASA concept like this?

    Pyro did a number of ships in this general style - I posted to the Yahoo group about one of them still available! I had this space cruiser in the 1960s - I think the design is 1950s vintage. It was once sold as part of a "Spaceport" set, which included the cruiser and a tinplate hangar, from which the cruiser was shot along the floor by a spring!
