White Thunderbird 7 AKA Project SWORD Beetle

This is exciting for SWORDies like me.

This looks like a normal boxed Thunderbird 7 / Project SWORD Beetle by Imai.


But it contains the elusive WHITE version of the model!

The usual version is orange as pictured on the box.


I really like this white version and may look out for one in the future.

I think it was released in the 1980's.


I saw this beauty online and saved these pictures.

Have you got one?

  1. That is one beautiful SF beast! One of the great knock-offs the Japanese did so well. Good find!

  2. And of course a great Shigeru Komatsuzaki illustration! Worth it for that alone!

    1. Yep, that's the hand of Shigeru and as such makes this the only project SWORD related box art that'has a known artist Zigg.
