1959 Thunderbird Models

In the late 1950's, Blasco Industries of Spain produced small 1/87 plastic models under the EKO name. These were mainly intended to be used in HO scale train set scenery. These 1959 Thunderbirds were produced by EKO well into the 1970's. The EKO company is still producing miniatures for the model railroad hobby.
