    I don't have the toy- but I recognise the hull as a copy of a WW2 German Tiger tank -most unlikely to be on the moon!

    I had the green version, love the turret, but as Andy says, its a lift from a WWII tank, which is a bit lazy and the tracks are moulded in, which is equally annoying!

    I see what you mean guys! The radar reminds me of the Moon Ranger too! I assume it revolves. Is the UFO Missile Tank a WWII lift as well? I'll post a picture for comparison.

    yep, the tennis racket radar turns round. I have it in my head that the ufo tank version is Chaffee tank base. Scoops got one courtesy of the Bolton toy fair I think, or maybe Donny.

    I'm sure there's another toy with the tennis racket radar...or the fly swatter as I call it! But which one?
