Glow In The Dark Air Force

[Tone]

I have six of these early 2000s planes, four of them with their boxes. I do not know the manufacturer, and these castings differ from other similar cheap planes.

The bodies are all metal including the canopies, which are picked out with white paint that glows in the dark (hopefully non-toxic). They have pull-back motors as seen in the bottom photos.

For comparison here is the "Action" brand F17 that I have that is equipped with a pencil sharpener. This toy was made in 1990.

Im pretty sure that action pencil sharpener is a matchbox mold

I've got both the green and the yellow variant of this harrier plane, but never knew glow in the dark was one of their features. Sure enough, they do glow!
