clay2445 Posted December 17, 2019 Just picked up this unique space tank from the 60's. It's about 5" long made of softer plastic. Only seen one of these some years ago. Reminds me of the futuramic spaceship by Ideal. It's not marked by the manufacturer......does anyone know the manufacturer? Thanks, Clay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Morbius Posted December 18, 2019 Those hulls (bases) look very much like the pontoons of Tim-Mee plastic Piper style airplanes from the early '60s, from stores like S.S. Kresge. I remember them from that time, so similar I'd suspect re-use of molds for the space stuff later on in the decade. Flip those bases over and attach the airplane bits into those slots.
