MORE CHRISTMAS DISCOVERIES: WHITE PROJECT SWORD BEETLE TB7 BY IMAI



Browsing the amazing Japanese website, which in English is the Thunderbirds Merchandise Museum [I think], I found two new images of the Thunderbird 7 aka the Project SWORD Beetle [ the shielded version of the Snow Train]. 

The top one is the box art lifted off the 1972 Imai model kit and used on their model catalogue cover, as shown, of the same year. Its been placed on a simple blue background.

Much more exciting is this white version of the TB7 / Beetle, which I've never seen before. Its on the 1989 page of the site so I assume its not just a white painted model from 1972 but a late 80'd re-issue, which is amazing and another first for the blog. Anyone got this white version? Wonder what the box is like?
