This is the American Ahi Super Rocket Plane.
A sleek blue cigar-shaped lunar liner, it sports the USA's stars and stripes.
As you might expect the white British original from Century 21 Toys, the Moonship, sports the Union Jack in the middle or on its rear end.
Have you got either?
Possibly the coolest, sleekest spaceship toy ever, definitely influenced by 1930s "streamliner" design concepts, and reminiscent of the terrific SF artwork of Frank R Paul. If I had one, the first thing I would do is remove those stupid flags, which mar the otherwise perfect lines of this beauty. SFZ
ReplyDeleteHee hee, that reminds me of the Flag Smashers in Marvel's Captain America and the Winter Soldier TV series Rob!
DeleteI thought this was based on Learjet toys with wings/fins removed
ReplyDeleteCould be. It was released in 1967.
