Science Patrol Vehicle - SPV By Any Other Name

Here at long last is the Science Patrol Vehicle (not to be confused with the Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle!), from Marui in Japan, circa 1974. According to Scalemates, Marui milked every drop they could out of these molds, reissuing it every year or so with a new name and different box art. This version, as you can see, came with a secret headquarters, plus a special wrist radio for Science Patrol agents. Oh, and that’s not Captain Scarlet in the cockpit, it’s Captain Science!
