Here's another pic I found at China Lake Alumni.
The very first pic in the 1962 gallery.
I haven't seen one of these in at least 20 years.
I do know what it is.
Do you?

Does it's name start with a Z or two?

ReplyDeleteThe Marine Corps version is called GU11.
ReplyDeleteI remember this being a plastic model kit in the 1970s--either Revell or Monogram--so what we're seeing here is a pretty good PhotoChop.
ReplyDeleteYes sir.

China Lake Alumni archive is a great place to scam it in. A lot of strange stuff there already.
