In Gerry Anderson’s UFO the interceptors were one-man fighters that were S.H.A.D.O.’s first line of defense against the alien UFOs. They were based on the moon and typically operated in groups of three. Each Interceptor carried a nuclear missile, which the three fighters fired simultaneously to create a wide area of destruction. They were designed to operate in space rather in the Earth’s atmosphere. The die-cast model is based on the acclaimed Sixteen 12 tooling.
