Further to my earlier post with Andy B's new SWORD advert, here is the extant SWORD half page advert from Buster comic, 1968 07 - December. Might take a little work to find a copy of the comic, but we would be more than grateful to see a full size, clear scan of the piece! Can anyone help ?
Yes please, a better scan. As I'm sure you pointed out the first time you posted this little beauty Wote, the illustrations are a mix of colour art from the SWORD Annual pictures and toy box art. Beautiful. It could so easilly have been in colour!
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see the Scout model included, as I have always considered the Scouts as latecomers to the range. Nice pic by Mike B too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy.
ReplyDeleteYes, it would seem the Scouts were the last of the line. Different box artwork and typeface plus a spec sheet rather than the manual. Nice additions though.
