I took these photos recently to show the size of the Imai Thunderbird 7/ Beetle model, [kindly constructed by Bill] compared to our freinds from Apollo Moon Exploring, LP, SpaceX and Project SWORD.
You can see that it - the orange vehicle with tracks and a remote control - is about the same size as the LP Moon Explorer [red Moon Bus] and the Project SWORD Scout 2 [yellow jet].
In fact it would make a good Scout 4 in the SWORD range, which would fit in with its Imai box art showing the Beetle coming out of a Thunderbird 2 pod.
I always thought of the Beetle, the shielded Snow Train, as a fairly large vehicle, especially in the SWORD Annual. But as we know, scale is a tricky thing and I am just enjoying my new SWORD Beetle model toy for what it is, a lovely toy.
