SANCHIS GOLD F-104

 This Sanchis F104 plastic plane caught my eye on Spain's Todocolleccion sale site so I saved a pic or two.

I quite like the box art.


There's a black version of the plane ...


...... but its this gold version that's a real cracker.

How about one of these in your collection?

    Very nice. From the levers in the wings above the yellow pods, I take it that these were launchers for the two missiles ? The Starfighter flew with the Spanish Air Force from 1965 to about 1971 or 1972 (the references I checked varied). That might help with dating the toy.

    I remember a school ski trip to Italy, as we flew into the airport and descended to land an Italian F-104 starfighter was strafing a wreck of a tank a few hundred meters away from the runway, I don't remember the airport but it must have been joint civilian and military, in the north about 6 hours drive from the Italian Alps
