Mystery Cool Radar Car

Seen on Ebay this year this neat lunar radar rover caught my eye. It looks familiar sort of. Described as 6 inches long with a Home made dish.

Any ideas as to what it is readers?

  1. It looks like a mobile set of kitchen scales.

  2. That body is based on a bootleg of Tamiya's Apollo 1/Jupiter 2 space tractor. The footplate between the wheels is an addition as the original Tamiya kit had tracks not wheels. There was also an extensive clear plastic roof that covered a turbine like structure, with an illuminated colour wheel inside. I saw one of these bootleg toys in blue and pink during the 70's, but having had the original and best, I didn't buy one!
