Notes
This is a rare French Dinky item, issued between 1969-71. In matte olive drab military finish with grey plastic launcher, red and white ‘Nord Missile’. Painted concave hubs. Fine tread original tyres look as-new.
Obviously hardly used, there are just a couple of small marks at a side edge and another on an edge of the cab roof.
Typically the box for this model (when you can find one) gets very easily damaged due to the softness of the card and the weight of the truck.
This pictorial box is one of the best we have seen in a long while (minor creasing and light handling wear) and comes complete with both the original packing card for the missile (pristine), as well as the card plinth (couple of tiny slot tears) on which the truck sits.
