Found this today, base has Thuinder Bird 3 Made in Taiwan, also has an emblem above the writing, but the paint is too thick to make it out clearly. Anyone know the who what and where? Thanks, Eric

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!
I don't know the who, but I think I know the what. Thunderbirds are GO. "Thunderbirds" was a puppet based sci-fi show of the '60s. I think they used a lot of Lesney era Matchboxes in the show as well!

That particular model certainly looks like a YOT product.

YOT had one casting, the Hiace moving van, offered in Zee Toys packaging as well. It could be others were too, although I've never seen any.

A little more info:

I can dig up a blistercard that may have pictures of your model.

Thanks,

Kimmo

Yeah it looks like the front part of Thunderbird 3 but that is about it.
I loved that TV show when I was a kid
