This rocket recently appeared on Ebay. Its about 5 inches long, coloured silver with red front and rear features and appears to be friction driven. It has a number on its base - 2822/5/53 I think. I can't see a maker's name on these pictures. It was being sold from Budapest in Hungary. Anyone know what it is?
Roxy also released virtually the same rocket in white called the Lunar Probe No.1. Its rear engine is different as are the wheels and the front landing gear.
The rocket shape in general will also be well known to readers, particularly JR21 collectors. Its the same shape as the one from the the back of the rocket launcher truck, which came in both JR21 and non-JR21 versions.
Are there any other rockets like this?
Nice find! There is some tongue-in-cheeck robot talk about it on Alphadrome http://tinyurl.com/k69865c
