#707 Eidai Pocket - Mitsui Zosen Hovercraft (Around 1980)

I flora this toy hovercraft a few months agone inwards a flea market. It is non 100% complete, since the big propellers too its fans are broken.

I convey flora out that Mitsui is a Japanese technology scientific discipline too shipbuilding company, too Zosen seems to live the Japanese discussion for Shipbuilding. I create non know who made this toy or if it is genuinely a toy... mayhap it is or too then promotional ítem? It has a logo on the base of operations that resembles or too then form of "G". Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 reader from this spider web log gave me the hint too correctly identified the toy to live an Eidai Grip. I volition update this entry amongst or too then to a greater extent than information soon.
