MYSTERY WHITE SPACEX SUPPLY FORCE MERCURY

I saw this trio of SpaceX on Worthpoint a while back and saved the pics. 

The seller said that  "All Are Made Of Hard Plastic" which I'm surprised at as I thought the two white-part vehicles would have been softer plastic like these two cloned examples I have.

So are the two white-part vehicles from the Spanish Bullycan range Aviones Cosmicos?

Here's a group shot of the many of the colour combinations from a Spanish collector.

From these and others online I can't see any white parts. Besides, even though the SpaceX Hawk is in the Spanish range the SpaceX Supply Force Mercury isn't so I think we can rule them out.

So not Bullycan and hard plastic. What are those white SpaceX? Prototypes? Painted toys? Customs?

Have you got them in your collection?

ANOTHER COOL STOCKING FILLER: RANDY'S FANTASTIC PLASTIC XAB1

Hi Woodsy,

I'd be flattered if you'd post my XAB pictures.  FYI: I don't know if the "AFLAC" reference is valid on your side of the pond, but it's a supplemental insurance company here.  

Speaking of things from the 60's,  I'd been waiting for them to re-issue the original Hawk XAB since I first saw it in a store window in 1963.  When I finished the Fantastic Plastic XAB, it reminded me a little of the Fireball XL-5, which I watched every Saturday morning.  (We never got "Thunderbirds", however.)

All the best,

Randy Kloko

SUPPLY FORCE MERCURY SPACEX RIFLE BOX ART: THE TADA AUTOMATIC GUN

 

 

I'm always on the lookout for new examples of art that remind me of SpaceX backing card art. For a good few years I've associated the SpaceX Supply Force Mercury illustration, above, with the Beta 1 Atomic Powered Bomber XAB-1 box art of this vintage Hawk model kit [can't read the artist's name].

 

 

The other day I stumbled across some more on this cool Automatic Gun by Tada [serioustoys]. It features some great Beta 1 illustrations on the box top and sides. It really is a fantastic design for a plane. Anybody got one of these Japanese rifles?
