strombecker booster rocket

Hi Woodsy

[spotted on Ebay. Is this the] origin / early version of the Valigursky illustration? - that lead to the SWORD booster rocket? 

Cheers

Woodsy asks:

Has anyone got a built up of this Strombecker and the SWORD Booster Rocket at home so we can see them together?

WOTAN wades in: The Plastic Fantastic site is a fab resource for vintage new garage kits. Here is the page for the Strombecker model:
