And for the Italian market the more traditional but inaccurate white coloured space suit...

Which actually looks quite good.

Action-Man Space Ranger - Gallery (1980)

Some of the box art and a comic advert - All very nice.

Airfix Eagles - Captain Eagle (1978)

A long lost but much loved toy from back in the day.  There were a few different Eagles action figures but this was the coolest because 1978 was all about the Sci-fi and these guys were the same size as Star Wars figures.  If I recall correctly I think Captain Eagles and Han Solo were best mates and along with an army of time-traveller Micronauts often defended the universe from Baron Karza and Darth Vader but that was all in a living room far far away.

Revell - Apollo Astronaut (2009)

Box art for 1:8 scale kit.  I think the art may have been used on an earlier release but I can't quite pin that down yet.  Either way, it's a nice painting

Gemini Spacecraft - Revell 1:24 model kit (1965)

A popular seller through the late 60's and reissued a number of times after, here is the original box art for Revell's 1:24 Gemini kit

Airfix Astronauts (1971) Original Release

Original box art for the Airfix Astronauts HO/00 scale figures, first issued 1971.

I owned these back in the day although I've no idea what happened to them.  Still the box art is enough to bring all the memories back.  What I like the most about this picture is just how busy the moon is.  I've no idea what everybody is up to for sure but it has the feel of a school sports day.
