marusan space scout and the jr21 submarine aircraft missile


I couldn't help noticing the design similarity between the small white and red jet missiles from the JR21 Submarine Aircraft Carrier above and the tinplate Space Scout X-110 by Marusan below.

What do you think?

What's the origin of this style?

    2. Space Scout X-100. Known in various versions, even in a Finnish one!

    3. Do you think they might be based on that Arto?

    4. Perhaps not the S.A.C. missiles, but the Marusan deffo yes! Note that the tinplate toy has X-300 whilst the box says X-110. Intriguing!
