I've for some time considered the USAF Nike Hercules to have been the inspiration for the Project SWORD Probe Force 1 in 1967.
To test this theory a little more I decided today to simulate Nikes with Probe Force 1 toys.
This is the USAF Nike Hercules online picture I chose to simulate.
I then set up my two Probe Force 1 toys in the bedroom window to give me access to a sky blue background.
Not being a naturally talented photographer I battled with the brightness of the sunlit sky
But eventually, with the USAF shot in mind..
I got this silhouette
OK, they are at different angles but it was the overall shape I was after.
What do you think?
Looks a likely match.
