Description :
Pair of rockets from Japan that would be great display models. Vintage XX-2
friction rocket from Nomura of Japan. Red & white fuselage with
passenger/pilot profiles in the portholes. Friction on the
rocket does not appear to be working and we think there is a rear red section
that was supposed to spark that is no longer present. Great mid-century lines;
in used condition. Measures 13” L 1960s vintage USAF friction rocket missile – notes it was made in Japan, but we cannot find the
actual maker mark. Has a blue & white fuselage with red trim, US Air Force
livery, and a rubber nose. The friction mechanism is virtually non-existent,
thus what was probably a “sparking” end under the red plastic windows in the base
doesn’t light up either. Could need a new flint, but we will let its new owner
decide to repair it or not. In used condition. Measures 13.5” L.
