Description

Jet Threat 4.0 is a futuristic half-car and half-fighter jet vehicle. It is a follow-up casting to Jet Threat, Jet Threat II, and Jet Threat 3.0. The Jet Threat 4.0's main features are its two plastic wings which can be "unfolded." Unfolding these gives it a jet-like appearance. Jet Threat 4.0 has what appears to be a small cockpit near the front of the car. Near the back is a large metal wing used to lock the plastic wings in the "up" position.
