3/5/20 69/100 Plane Transporter

Looks familiar, doesn’t it?  This is the same casting as the Rocket Transporter, but instead of two rockets in the back there is a plastic fighter jet in silver and blue (though there is a variation that has the colors reversed on the plane).  The plane nestles into the truck very nicely, though it would be nice to see a realistic plane that has some metal and visible details instead of this dollar store cheap looking thing.  The truck is the same as the rocket transporter; a large truck designed to haul heavy aircraft equipment and looks nice in black.  Still, I think this casting is better as a rocket transporter than a plane transporter and that has been evident as the former gets more use in the Matchbox line than the latter.
