Here's a new one for me, both the web site and the toy. It's an F-111 from Clifford. Looks like a Japanese tin plane from the late '60s. Can anyone here fill in with some more information?

Not at all, this looks like a plastic kit, though the Japanese companies Nikko Gangu/Toys Nomura (both trade marks appear on the same toy) did make an F-111 with working plastic wings.

By the way I did have a Sword toy when I was little (and I still have it)- it is the space probe:

Because they are plastic they do not come up for sale too often. I'm glad I kept it!

That S.W.O.R.D. is neat...very "XL5ish".

Had the F-111 that Tone speaks of, if this is it:

"Made of sturdy metal and plastic". Should this item then go into the "Old, large plastic toy" category?
