Recently seen on a Spanish auction, this bagged Bullycan plastic aircraft carrier has headers not seen on MC before.
Of interest to SpaceX and Golden Astronaut fans, the red planes are copies of the Hawk.
Oddly enough, the label shows a different more elaborate Aircraft Carrier, #3162, with various SpaceX copies on deck.
It's this one, which has appeared on MC before on this 1970 catalogue page.
It's one I have myself in plain white.
The rear of the new label shows the rest of the Bullycan boat range.
Have you anything like this readers?
CV-39 was the USS Lake Champlain, one of the Essex class carriers. With the post-war angled flight deck, although the Lake Champlain did not have an angled deck. That is a bit confusing.
ReplyDeleteMost of not all these plastic carriers from Bullycan have 39 on them Paul.
DeleteI would've loved this when I was very young, but didn't have one. OTOH when I was older I built a model carrier that came with a ton of tiny airplanes. You were supposed to glue some on the deck, but where's the fun in that? "Pew pew!"
ReplyDeleteHa ha! What happened to the model Baron?
DeleteGone like sand through the hourglass. My uncle was in the Navy and built tons of ship and plane models. Wonder what happened to those?
DeleteCool Woodsy! The hunt is on! haha
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific idea - a space aircraft carrier! Yes, I need one of these... SFZ
ReplyDeleteYou gotta see the JR21 Atomic Submarine Aircraft Carrier then SF! Perhaps their greatest toy!
