The Lionel Missile Launching Platform No. 470 would rotate and raise and lower the trajectory of the missile that it fired. Came with a No. 6470 exploding box car that was housed in its own box inside the No. 470 box.

It has a TAN plastic base and quonset hut, BLACK missile cradle, BLUE missile launcher, BLUE, WHITE, and RED No. 6650-80 missile, and a YELLOW microwave antenna on the roof of the hut.

There are also two different instructions sheets. Both are numbered 470-5 and dated 9-59, but one is brinted in BLACK ink, and one with BLUE ink. Catalogued from 1959 to 1962, there are no variations.
