UNDER THE RADAR

There's something iconic about a radar transmitter. The silver dishes ooze a cold war in space. Naturally there are many cool radar toys.


 
 
My favourite is the Spacex Apollo Tracker seen here in its original orange, together with a custom purple version both from Bill's collection.
 
 
 
 
The mighty Crawler by Imai is another favourite; articulated, battery powered and missile firing. This example is on You Tube.
 
 
 
 
Last but not least is the Thunderbirds Transmitter Truck, which formed part of the TB2 pod fleet. This one is courtesy of our very own Scoop and his diorama workshop.
 
 
 
Can you think of any more radar toys readers?
