Cheap and Booster: Hover's SWORD Rocket

Although we don't see much by way of Project SWORD these days on MC, it is the reason I started the blog in 08.

So it was nice to see an old friend on a Brazilian toy site.

This is the Hover clone of the Century 21 Booster Rocket  (from Project SWORD), which some of you may have. 

It's an audaciously gorgeous knockoff, rebranded Project NASA, of the highest quality, which I assume at the time was cheaper than the UK original and easier to get hold of in mainland Europe perhaps. 

The only real difference being the colours, the original C21 having blue tanks and a pale grey body. 

In many ways I prefer Hover's!

You may notice the diabolo spinner label on the left of the illustration. That's an Italian importers label seen on many SWORD clones destined for the Italian market, of which there are quite a few.

Have you a Booster Rocket? 

Here's a few more Hover snaps I saw on auction.  Can there be a more blatant and wonderful Project SWORD clone? This ain't no cheapo knockoff!
