It was one of those "must be out there" items like the Cosmic Cruiser picture box. By all logic there ought to exist a window-box Swordfish too but I've never seen one. Similarly, the 1985 AF Command Centres are all Z Force edition overstock, I don't think the advertised version with Gung-Ho and Stalker was ever released.

The picture box boat patrol I've seen another but I shall not say to much as it is owned by one of our own, the variant Hyena box I'm not really that worried about or am I the cosmic cruiser to be honest they are things that I believe beyond my grasp so I wouldn't want to beat myself up over them.

There was no window boxed swordfish. It came dismantled, so it was never done as window boxed. Interestingly the German one was in a smaller box - the same size as the triad fighter and the like.

And re picture box boat patrol, you've seen it twice Baron, not once.

Now, Eddie, I REALLY like toys too, but this is taking it too far.

If you do insist might I suggest some cases from GW acrylics first to protect the rare items.....

I use to have a magazine with a photo of a boat patrol in, unfortunately the pages somehow got stuck together :.
