Dear Woodsy,
This LN Fleet is now successfully at Helsinki Base.
To pay tribute to the Alphadrome posting, that has fascinated me for so long, I took the attached piccy for your enjoyment.
LN is a curious one, overshadowed by LP, which of course is a much broader range.
The Space Radar Car is No. 303 / 303 C and the Combat Car 305 C.
I'm not sure if there was a picture of the Amphibious Missile Carrier on the Blog, showing the item number. At least it is not mentioned on the card, nor is the LN brand. The Merehall version is 215.
The numbering would suggest that there is more to the toy line.
The "C" presumably denotes "Carded". There is a boxed version 303 of the Space Radar Car, so I would assume there be one or more boxed versions as well.
Enjoy!
Arto

This is probably old news, but That Combat Car is also the same basic shape and design as the Echo toy, and a plastic model kit I used to have, from Midori, called “Planetoid Echo 7.”
ReplyDeleteThey look great- I wouldn't be able to resist taking them out of their packaging!
ReplyDeleteThanks Z for reminding us about the similar designs, I faintly recall there may have been a comment about it at some point.
ReplyDeleteAnd Andy - I fully understand the temptation, although I tend to be more of a preservationist in these matters. I've got the boxed version of the Radar Car, so I put my hopes in finding others boxed as well.
Just an addition, the Merehall AMC has the maker's mark FE (both letters circled) along with the item number 215 on the underside.
