Errr . . . I mean, 'no missile'! But I think the missile was in one of those 'odds & sods' shrapnel shots at the end of a mixed lot or show report a few years ago, so, despite going unidentified at the time, it is waiting in the mixed rockets and missiles bag to be united with this! And, of course, it meant that, even for Sandown, it was cheap!
The box isn't the best, but it's all there! More of an Earth-bound 'delta-dart' fighter than a spaceship. Especially with the swing-wing technology, which is all about negotiating atmosphere, at speed, and manoeuvring without the wings falling off, rather than cruising through a near-vacuum! Maybe a
Trigan Empire 'Atmosphere Craft'!
It has the same engines as the moon-bus, so probably doesn't need the wings at all, just a diesel pump every 180-miles! It's a fun thing, not much bigger than the
Spacex/Golden Astronaut stuff, and lacking the charm of the old Dime Store pulp-stuff, with a standard push-and-go motor and cycle-wheels!
Century 21, Project Sword,
Scout 2, box-ticked!
We'll see what we can find on the 15th November!
