MYSTERY YELLOW DIE-CAST SPACE PLANE

 

I saw this space plane toy earlier this year online on auction and saved this image. Its a mystery to me what it is. Listed as made in Taiwan, it looks die-cast to me.

Anyone know what it is?

    It looks like Firebird-5 by Zee Toys, part of their TB knock-off range Firebirds

    Yes! Well spotted Arto! Fab work. That Firebird 4 looks like one in a Italian carded set too, the name of which eludes me. Geodi?

      Yes Hugh, Dennis Nicholson's book on Andersonalia lists Yot and Zee as the same stuff re-packaged.

    The back looks distinctly like a Battlestar Galactica (original series) fighter?

      I was going to say the same Andy - a Viper with canards!

      I agree, Viperish for sure.

    Ive got the orange version, which is a distinct Viper rip-off. No canards and little attempt at disguising the similarity!

    That might be the Italian Giodi version Wote maybe?
