I love this old signed pic of the Grumman MOLAB over at MemReg.
Project SWORD fans will recognise the general shape of this MOLAB as the ANT featured in the project SWORD Annual 1968.
The real thing hangs in the Red Planet Cafe of the Cradle of Aviation Museum, Mitchel Field, Long Island, USA. Get yourself down there if you live nearby and tell us what its like!
Wow Woodsy, now that's a find!
ReplyDeleteAnd delighted to see the thing survived.

Now I know where Italian toymaker Comansi got their design for these wheels ! see http://geoffstoys.blogspot.pt/2012/05/bubbles-what-bubbles.html
ReplyDeleteSpanish toymaker - sorry - my mistake...
DeleteI see what you mean Geoffrey. That Comansi toy is the closest one to the Grumman ANT MOLAB. the SpaceX MEV2 has similar wheels as well.
