Flicking through fleabay for Crissy prezzies I noticed this cool Japanese Imai book [seller: nippon-dododo]. One of the featured kits from 1966 is the JUPITER HOVERCRAFT [above left bottom]. Seeing I knew I'd seen that design before. In fact I'd owned the very same toy for a while, the army Hovercraft by MMF shown below right. I've pictured an adjacent close-up of the Imai Jupiter box and kit for comparison. Pure conjecture on my part but I wouldn't be surprised if the Imai box art was painted by Japanese SWORD maestro Shigeru Kamatsuzaki. Anyone got the Imai kit?
