DALEK PATROL SHIP & PILOT
As the hotly anticipated new series of Doctor Who featuring
Peter Capaldi is due to air next month I
though it’s time to give some Who merchandise a mention.
As far as I'm aware this particular Patrol Ship first appeared in
the fiftieth anniversary special ‘Day
Of The Doctor’.
It has firing cannon
on top, and removable armoured panels.
It’s scaled to the 3.75” series and comes with its own
pilot.
It’s a perfect complimentary vehicle to the previously
released Dalek Hoverbout.

KONAMI SKYDIVER
Some photos of the Konami Skydiver.
I think the detail on this tiny 3” model is exceptional, and
to some degree better than the Product Enterprise version.
Even though it’s small, each side is a perfect representation
of its TV counterpart with accurate lettering.
It even separates into Diver 1 and a miniscule Sky 1.

KONAMI LUNAR CARRIER
The Konami Lunar Carrier, another model from Konami’s UFO TV
series range.
Unlike my previous Moonbase Central post on the Konami S.I.D. which
came as part of a double pack, the Lunar Carrier was part of a separate UFO
set.
With all the sealed
boxes looking exactly the same what you’d find inside was down to pot luck, and
according to the UFO series page with the chances of getting a Carrier was one
in ten.
In the TV series the Lunar Carrier (or Moon Transporter as
it’s described in the UFO annual) is the lifting body used to take the Lunar
Module up to the edge of space, whereupon the Module is released to continue its
journey to the Moon, while the Carrier returns to Earth.
This concept art by Derek Meddings shows that there were few
differences between Derek’s original design and the finished studio model.
Like its TV counterpart, the Konami Carrier has a tiny
detachable Lunar Module.
