    As a child I had one of these as a toy. It was a heavy die cast model with a flip over roof that revealed a missile launcher. The launcher was a spring loaded affair. The missile was rubber tipped piece of plastic. It took only a second to fire but bloody hours to find !!!.

    I loved UFO - I've got the episodes on disk, and at 55 years old I still have my 1970s Dinky Toys Shado mobile and interceptor, both still pretty much in one piece and they can still fire their weapons. The mobile's tracks broke early on, but I replaced them with tracks off another toy (probably my Chieftain tank). I still love all that stuff! Getting older is unavoidable, but nobody can force you to grow up.😄

      First question how are you going to stop noise Knaybours and second how are you going to explain to the government you have a armoured vehicle with heavy fire power in the garage ! How are you going to get it in the garage . Don't forget taking it out too give it run out the noise ! , then there's the risk you might run over someone cat or dog or God forbid someone's child. From a old man who wanted the real thing too but had make do with corgi or was it dinky toy, anyway like you i will dream on 🤣👍😎.

So as long as you dont have and ammunition you would be ok, The noise is easy as long as you use it between 8am and 10pm, it would need to be plated to run on the roads just like any kit car, and the tracks would need rubber inserts if you wanted to use it on the public highway just like any tracked vehicle. The biggest problem would be fuel consumption.

    One great episode when they lobbed depth charges into a lake and then ferociously shot up the UFO when it surfaced.

      @FandersonUfo It works the same in real life. You make a covert vehicle look as normal as possible.
      If someone notices it is a bit "odd" they tend to write it off as a version they aren't familiar with.
      However, a missing license plate will catch a police officer's attention and that piques curiosity which could lead to an encounter, questions and/or cover being blown.
