Pursuing the Traveller deltoid shape, I thought I'd have a look for a toy version of the ANSA spaceship Icarus from Planet of the Apes as mentioned by SteelRust and as partly seen on this vintage gum card
[more Apes gum cards like this from reader Terranova47 to come!]
The Traveller Scout and Project SWORD Scout 3 and the Icarus all seem to fit into this deltoid group so I was surprised that I couldn't find a single toy version of the Icarus ship.
The closest I got to the overall spearhead style of the ANSA ship is this West German plastic toy rocket by a company called Stelco.
It came both carded and boxed either in English, Apollo or Space Shuttle and Parachute and in its original German, Traegerrakete. Bubble card variations exist as you can see here. A lovely plastic spaceship. Have you got one?
