The fighters resemble old Cylon ships, but the mothership doesn't, what is it?
Dune. The film was a mess. Big tube, guild highliner, things coming out, house space ships. Bit complicated the relationship.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_technology...

this is from a box of some of my own toys from a few(!) decades ago. I had the interceptor with the big missile too, and I seem to recall the sort of truck/tank like thing which had a lid that flipped over to reveal missile launcher.
You're mixing up two different shows there. Both Gerry Anderson designs, though. The pic you have posted is an Eagle from Space 1999, and the other two you mention are from UFO. I had the "Interceptor with the big missile" too and always wanted the truck with the flip-over roof.
Gunstar from The Last Starfighter.
You could actually believe this is a real ship based on the way the weapons and thrusters are laid out (although they didn't adhere to correct spaceship physics in the movie - the ship does appear to have been designed in a similar manner to the B5 Starfury).

So did I. an 'inheritance' from an older brother. No idea where the toys are now, long gone most likely. Sad.I also recall 'inheriting'...
Joe 90's car and the backwards car from Scarlet. Both shows that were too old for me I think, but I saw on repeats. I think I might gave seen Space 1999 on first time but can't be sure, I would have said the toy was white as well, seems odd being green.

So do I. Funny thing was they were white in the TV series, but green as toys. I always wanted to paint mine to match the TV ones.
/nerd mode onThey were available with green, blue and white noses/landing pods, then white transporter pods or red cargo pods, but only in certain combinations. So it is possible to make an all-white one without any repainting required. There's a ludicrous amount of beardy information here:
