Very much Woodsy. The clear cockpit reminds me of the Nuclear Ferry. I wonder if the design is based on something else. A couple of loose figures included adds a nice touch.
I like it. The huge clear canopy reminds me of the ones from Space Family Robinson comics. However, the main reason I like it is the overall shape is very Stingrayish. With very little work, mostly paint, this could be another ship in WASP's fleet, maybe an earlier model due to the upright instead of canted tailfins.
It is. It appears to be a sub in a reticle like viewed from a periscope. Best image I've seen so far of it is https://http2.mlstatic.com/ranetta-sprint-en-caja-originalfuncionando-D_NQ_NP_689401-MPE20331942502_062015-F.jpg

ReplyDeleteLate 70's - early 80's?
It is a beauty isnt it Arto. Renatta did some lively toys. Lots of boats and subs.

ReplyDeleteI agree Lance. It does have Stingray in it. Its a really nice design. Quite unlike most others. I love the word canted. What does it mean?
DeleteCanted in this case, means inclined at an angle, sloping.
DeleteAnd look at the sub in the Ranetta logo - very Stingrayish too, isn't it?
