FD884

Notes

French Dinky military models always impress – and surely the Brockway Bridge Layer Truck is the best of the lot!
Issued during 1961, this 1:55 scale vehicle is in fine, original condition with a fresh matt military green finish throughout.

One little chip at a wheel arch, and the occasional negligible dot if you really search for long enough. Note the remains of the original elastic band which kept the components in place on the truck (understandably rather perished now after some 50 years or so).
It is complete with all of the components to construct the bridge as well as the two ‘floats’.

Also present is the original leaflet – one side of which gives instructions for constructing the pontoon bridge in French and on the reverse is the colourful river scene:

Thankfully, there are no tears or parts missing.
Also included are two further leaflets (unusual to find these present, especially the ?NOTA? leaflet).

Also included are five additional spare ‘stoppers’ for the inflatable rafts.
The distinctive striped Supertoys box is clean and bright, with none of the usual fading to the colours.
Inside, you will find the card packing tray in which the model sits (minor wear). Meccano Controle stamp on the inside of the lid (Quality Control stamp). The box base has a small surface tear at one side. Very minor wear and no graffiti.
An impressive military display piece.
