When the missile launches, you can hear a noise that does NOT sound
like a spring...

Griff,

Here are 12 photos which might help you out in your project:

http://ufoseries.com/interceptor/

(caution -- some of these photos are huge, in order to see all the detail)

I'm not exactly sure what the story is behind these photos (perhaps Paolo or
someone else here knows). As far as I know, the profile shots with the
white backgrounds were taken in the 1970s for the Japanese model
manufacturers. The ones with the black backgrounds look like the
model looks like 30 years later. And I suppose that the broken pieces
are the remains of another model.

All photos courtesy Phil Rae (who I believe owns all the Interceptor
models still around)
