scouts, hawks and angels: toy jets everywhere!

I've always loved the Century 21 Toys Project SWORD Scout 2.

It was a form favourite as a kid especially as it had swing wings and spring-loaded missile.


It always went well with that other swing wing the SpaceX Hawk shown here in orange with the larger Tarheel version in green.


I like Scout 2 so much that anything that looks remotely like it gets a second look as I've blogged many times before.

Here's a few more Scout-and-Hawk-alikes I've seen in cyberspace.

Bandai


Sanchis


Lesney


Some morph into designs more like the Century 21 Angel Aircraft



Guisval


Sanchis


and occasionally I'll see a doppelganger for the Spectrum Passenger jet too!

Have you seen any toy planes that would go well here?

    Photo 3 - is a French Dassault Mirage in Israeli markings, or perhaps the Israeli-built version called Kfir (Lion Cub).
    Photo 4 - North American X-15 research plane in Spanish markings, but the roundels on the tailplanes are just silly.
    Photo 5 - the Lesney model is a Matchbox Super Kings Aircraft Transporter in die-cast metal, with a plastic model of the French-German Alpha Jet two-seat trainer (which seems to have been turned into a single-seater) as its load.
    Photo 8 - Super easy, the McDonnell-Douglas F-4 Phantom II in orange. I am not very familiar with the comic character Black Hawk, but is that the Black Hawk insignia on the wing ?
