Woodsy and Fellow Moonbasers,
Here's the second offering for the Project SWORD anniversary, the Tarheel Nova III.
I have both the Nova II and Nova III listed as Tarheel Part No. 5918 which I suspect is incorrect.
The Tri-ang figures shown with the craft make for a good size comparison. These Tarheel toys are more appropriate in size to HO scale or 1/72 scale figures than most of the vehicles and spacecraft Tri-ang offered.
My sample has no packaging and is missing the canopy.

This is one of three plastic Novas from Tarheel, all inspired by either Triang SpaceX or Thunderbirds and very close cousins of Project SWORD toys, which Tarheel also issued in North America.
Another unusual toy, and as we know, taking its inspiration from a model in Thunderbird 6
ReplyDeleteThat design is sublime, and in shocking orange, even better! SFZ
ReplyDeleteOne of Brains' quick designs to show Geoff Tracy. Brains smashes it on the floor in anger!
ReplyDeleteLovely!
