It's always great when you get more than you expected. I hesitated to purchase this one. Sure, it looks very cool in the picture but I really thought it would be nice to have the one with retractable wings but that means spending almost twice as much. Oh well...no big deal.

I just opened it up and it DOES have retractable wings. The stand is nice and steady...the construction of the car is solid and what they don't show in the picture is that it says S U P E R C A R underneath which really enhances the effect when it's on the display stand.

Did you watch it as a kid? Does the thought of those days put a smile on your face? Yea?? BUY IT! Put it on your shelf...walk by it every now and then...look over, stop and SMILE! It's really very cool!

I've waited 50 years, literally to get this model of Supercar. And, it is cool. Very authentic with some realistic touches including the retractable wings, an antenna, etc. The stand is really nice, too for display--although a little tricky. (I threw the small bottom plate (where the stand attaches) in the middle of the Supercar logo into the back seat of the cockpit so it wouldn't get lost.
When I was in grade school watching this show there were comics, etc., but there just weren't any realistic models--I don't think--to be had. So, I made several back in the day, but always looked forward to something like this.
Shipment was good and the packaging was solid and the product arrived in good shape!

Hard to believe that it's been 50 years since "Supercar" thrilled those of us who watched the adventures of Mike Mercury and this amazing vehicle each week on TV. And like so many other young kids of the early 60's, I was mesmerized by Supercar. For so many of us, it truly was the marvel of OUR age. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the genius who was Gerry Anderson. At the time, toy reproductions of Supercar available here in the US were very limited, so I used fiberboard to built my own version of Supercar. Granted, it was crude, but I didn't care. At least I had a "Supercar" of my own that I could use for acting out those weekly episodes along with Mike Mercury and his friends. Good times. Fast-forward 50 years and now the good folks at Product Enterprise have finally presented us with the Holy Grail that so many of us have waited much of our adult lives for - an awesome reproduction of the one and only Supercar. Granted, some of the details on this reproduction might not stand up to intense scrutiny when compared to the original. So what? If you're like me, and you've waited 50 years for a decent Supercar reproduction, that's probably not going to stop you from owning this long-awaited beauty. At least now we've got our own incredibly detailed version of Supercar for when we watch those vintage TV episodes on DVD. After 50 years, I think we've finally come full circle. Get one of these now while they're still available. Enjoy!

I have been searching for a supercar replica for 10 years. Supercar was one of my favorite TV shows as an younster and I had the fortune of owning a toy version at the time. The design and fantasy of Supercar began my love affair with cars that continues today. The model I purchased is authentic and well put together and sits with my collection of classic TV cars in my den today.

Many of us Supercar fans who aren't skilled enough to build a resin and metal model waited for years for a good pre-built replica of the fantastic Supercar and had to settle for the Remco battery-operated toy. This one fills the order nicely! You can almost hear the engines charging and Mike Mercury calling out the RPMs. As good as it is, though, there are a couple authenticity points it misses: There are no side windows! How do they expect us to travel under the sea like that!?! The second thing I notice is that the Supercar logos on the sides of the nose are too small! There may be other problems with this model but I haven't noticed (even I'm not THAT picky!) All-in-all, this is certainly worth the price. As a matter of fact, I'd say it's "Satisfactory....Most satisfactory"!
