Kallisti Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) Would either an Angel Interceptor from Captain Scarlet or a Moonbase Interceptor for UFO count? Edited November 16, 2019 by Kallisti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, fictional 'Sci-fi' interceptors, why not Not previously given any thought to 'What-if's. If anyone wants to tackle the paper projects that didn't make it off the drawing board and fictional subject from film and TV then that's cool but the same rules apply. 1 hour ago, Enzo Matrix said: Or one of these...

Bound to be better than battering the ancient Matchbox kit into submission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vppelt68 Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Brewster B.239 a.k.a Pylly-Valtteri or Taivaanhelmi any good for this? I'm close to purchasing this combo set, and they'd be good split between this and the Me 109 STGB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
