Last week I posted Andy B's cool pictures of the SKYLON, the iconic needle-like structure, which rose from the Festival of Britian site in 1951. I knew that the Skylon had appeared on the box art of some vintage space toys but I got to wondering if it had inspired it's own toys or games back then. A little cybercruising threw up this fab Modelcrraft Micromodels card kit.
There's a great site devoted to Micromodels. Scroll to 1951 and click on SKYLON and you'll see two versions of the kit, together with biult-ups.
But is there a plastic Skylon out there?
