Another company to seize the zeitgeist by the tale during the Star Wars frenzy, was Lone Star. Using elements from the old Modern Army series, they fashioned a standard body and chassis for the Space Commanders range of four window boxed, six inch vehicles.
The design is very reminiscent of the UFO Shado 2 Mobile, with a few additions and minus tracks.
While I was at Bolton toy fair with my co bloggers, Woodsy and Scoop, I picked up the green missile launcher. Just that week, the other three from the range popped up on ebay and after a bit of a late night struggle, I won the remaining three. The silver Solar Disintigrator was missing the searchlight part, but as the old Modern Army version was still around for reference, I managed to make a new one out of spares from the parts box.
Lovely set of vehicles, Bill
