Like I said in yesterday's post, the first three postings of the Triang SpaceX STAGE ONE, EARTH BASE, series will be Golden Astronaut vehicles. The original Tractor T-5 was issued in red, however, Paul Vreede, in his SpaceX central website, did mention that the yellow tractor was a later color offering and would have looked just like this one except that the peel-&-stick appliqué would read "TRACTOR T-5". The Tractor measures 2 1/2" (6.35cm) L x 1 1/2" (3.81cm) W x 1 1/4" (3.17cm) H. Possible orginis for the design of this small vehicle can be found on SpaceX Central. Once I begin to cover the actual Golden Astronaut series I'll post more photos of this little guy. Until then - Enjoy! Opa Fritz
Here's the card back from the Helicopter P-3 showing what the original issue Tractor T-5 would have looked like
