    At first I thought they might be jigsaw puzzles.
    The Hannebu looks a lot like the flying saucers in The Invaders :
    

    
    
    

    
    Here's the punchline. What threw me off was the (apparently) black and white image on the box lid. When The Invaders was in first run, we had a black and white TV, and I assumed the show was also in black and white.
    Until I found the picture posted above.
    I'm also a modeler, by the way, although I build cars. But I do prefer unusual subjects; station wagons, 4-door sedans, conversions to existing kits in order to make, say, a BelAir into a 150.
    Too bad cats aren't frightened by flying saucers.
    I needed heavily scented drier sheets to keep the cats away from the Maggies. Worked, but I think I might have killed few brain cells.
    BTW, looks like you've one of the Tamiya 1/700th scale waterline ship kits.
    
    
    
    The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
