S is for Slick Saloons...in Space!

You can't beat a bit of 'dime-store' (or even 6d-store!) space plastic...even if you were too young to remember them at that price or at that time! If it's in metallic plastic that makes it all the better...

...Thomas Toys/Poplar Plastics copied the Gilmark 'Fireball' (one engine) and 'Supersonic' (twin-jet nacelles) Jetmobiles for the carded sets of their space figures, they also sold them individually.

The simplest way to produce the two-colour effect is to have all the pieces in the one mould tool and run it in both colours, swapping all the small components (wheels, the rear tail-fin piece and exhausts) before glueing. The tail-fin is damaged and needs TLC on the lower right example. Also  - they both appear to have barbed-wire cutters on their noses!
