Now here's a battle-worn veteran of some series fighting among the stars! I got this on fleaBay for not a whole lot of money and never having seen one - along with the coolness factor - I went ahead and snatched it. It was only afterwards with the help of the Arto Hraala, and the guys over at Moonbase Central that this was identified as a Project Sword clone. This version does not come with a friction motor and my sample is missing the exhaust. Other issues were some obvious heat damage to the vertical stabilizer, the starboard wing, and starboard wheel. The seller said "wheel does not not move", well now DUH! The darn thing was heat-fused to the fuselage!! I loosened the wheel from the body and it worked fine. The burn on the wing actually looks great - like a blast mark from a laser - but that melt spot on the fin is kind of, ummm, meh! Anywho, I still like it and think it's a cool so maybe now I may be on the hunt for actual Project Sword craft. This measures 8" (20.32cm) L x 2 3/4" (6.98cm) wingspan x 3" (7.62cm) H. Enjoy!
