It seems that japanese model company Tamiya had great things imagined for the Apollo programme, judging by this vintage ad for a fantastic Moon Bus. The super sleek transport seems in direct contrast to the Von Braun style lander in the background.
The typography and style is very reminiscent of Mattels Matt Mason range too - shame I cant read kanji!
Looks like it was designed by David Ogle!
ReplyDeleteWhere's the ad from, Paul, do you know?

I would be interested to know which magazine. I'm always on the lookout for such things.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see this in more detail. Anyone have a copy they could scan at higher resolution?
