Rockets Galore!

 Resident modeller Kev Davies restored a Rosenthal X60 Rocket Transporter recently, by fitting out the rocket with new engine nacelles and various other missing parts. The Dan Dare like transporter looked almost as good as new by the time he was finished.

 However, Kev was lucky enough to come across a new set of the accessories for the toy (which are always bagged separately inside the main box) and was able to complete the X60 to pristine condition. This left him with an original engine and the two he had scratchbuilt, so rather than discard them, he built an entirely new rocket around them!

 The X60B (sic) is almost the same size as the original, but entirely custom built apart from one silver nacelle!

 Carried to the pad by a vintage Dinky Antar Tank Transporter, the rocket fits neatly into the X series of toys made by Rosenthal in the sixties.
