space.trucks Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Interesting if incomplete with heavily damaged cockpit & empty peg holes. Parts may be broken off the leading edge as well, can't tell. Soft flexible plastic. Reminds me of a Flying Flapjack cross-bred with the Avrocar and an HL-10 Lifting Body. The purple fixtures are puzzling: what would they be for?? other than to look cool. Right bottom wheel was just loose, not damaged. Looks like somebody's cat got at it and the front wheel mismatched. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krel Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 It reminds me of one of the minisubs from "Thunderball". David. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Might be some type of speed boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Lapointe Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Reference to Thunderbeall looks correct, a similar submarine was used in an unofficial HK blister set from the movie, probably same mold was used for other toys too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyman Posted January 10, 2020 Share Posted January 10, 2020 Apparently the purple things are air tanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work. The picture even explains the asymetrical placement of the peg holes. I got a Disco Volante. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, I can see how they would have pegged onto diver figures swoppet-style but ended up on the sub by mistake. Though interestingly the sub came with two soft flexi Lido / Captain Video type figures instead of divers also silver colored. Likely estate plunder mismatched by time. Someday our collections will be too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
