SHADO's first line of defence is Moonbase which can launch a flight of
interceptor
spacecraft, each equipped with an anti-UFO missile.
On Earth SHADO has submarines designated 'Skydiver' which can launch 'Sky' jet
fighters to combat the UFOs. On land, tracked and armed Mobiles can be deployed
anywhere in the world. As if all that high tech hardware wasn't enough, the
people running SHADO have nice cars too!
On these pages we'll be taking a look at models of the various vehicles from
the Gerry Anderson UFO t.v. series - toys, kits and our own computer graphics.

Fortunately, although SHADO is a top secret organisation, there are lots of
nice toys and models of the vehicles available.
Dinky Toys produced a few diecast U.F.O. toys in the 70's and there are numerous kits
available from Aoshima and small kit manufacturers that make resin and white metal
models.
The finest UFO models to date were produced by a Japanese company called
Konami. Recently Product Enterprise have produced a small range of diecast UFO models.
