Today we look at the last known variant of the Premier Plastics Flash Gordon Space Ships, the 3" Wide Body v.2. This differs from version 1 in that it has five windows behind the cockpit vs. four. Here are the particulars:
3” Wide Body’s v.2
- Hard plastic
- Made by Premier Plastics
- 5 windows behind cockpit
- 3 tall struts in place of wheels in tricycle landing
gear arrangement
- Backward #4
underneath fuselage
- Stiffening ribs between windows
- Original exhaust
To-date I haven't yet found a 3in Wide Body soft plastic variant. That being said, I haven't looked real hard either. I don't haunt eBay or the Web every day just looking for these things, but rather tend to find them during random searches. It's hard to imagine there not being a soft plastic knock-off so when/if that day ever comes and I'm able to acquire one, it'll be posted here. Until then - Enjoy!
