I love the sleek lines of the 1988 Hasbro Cobra Stilleto for small GI Joe figs.
It could almost be a modern Thunderbirds vehicle like the Thunderbird S released nearly ten years ago, which some of you may have.
My own favourite pointed space plane is the Project SWORD Re-Entry Task Force 1 from 1967, which, like the tip of a Nike Hercules missile, I adored as a kid.
Issued in a variety of colours by late Sixties cloners as well, the original and best is the Century 21 Toys release, which was bright red.
Which is your favourite sleek lined space plane?
My favourite sleek space plane is the Crusher Joe Harpy from 1983. I had the original kit back in the day and love the styling. (maybe an influnce on the Thunderbird S?)
ReplyDeleteHere's a modelling page with the red Harpy and it's green stablemate the Siren.

I really like the tin-litho MF-030 Universe Rocket from China
ReplyDeleteThat is a cracker Ed!
DeletePut legs on the Cobra Stilleto's wings and it's almost a red UFO Interceptor
ReplyDeleteYes! Red would have been good Mish! Were there any red planes or rockets in Anderson shows? I can think of TB3.
