Title: toy "Q" ship/commerce raider from the mid 1960s or so
Post by: magnus on January 02, 2013, 05:30:01 PM
I had this really cool toy that looked like a merchant ship but had hidden guns etc..

As I remember it was a pretty big toy.

I have been trying to find it on the internet.

Does anyone remember this and maybe a name or the company?

It wasn't " Battlewagon", it was definitely a merchant ship.

Thanks

Maybe 'The Phantom Raider' by Ideal Toys?

Cool. They don't make 'em like they used to.

I had a plastic model by Aurora of the German Raider, Atlantis.  It could be assembled with drop panels for the forward guns, a removeable funnel, and coverings over the midship guns.
Could this model kit be it?
