Notes
An impressive Dinky military item, this tank transporter is 1:55 scale, and was issued between 1959-63. Fine matt original finish is in military olive green with matching ridged wheels throughout. Window glazing. The spare wheel for the trailer has a small portion missing and some crazing. All components are complete and intact including the drop down ramps on the trailer. Bright baseplate and metal parts. 2 spare wheels stowed behind the cab.
Obviously, this military piece has spent most of its life in the box.
Few minor marks may be found if you look for them!
The plain striped Supertoys box is very fresh, bright and clean, complete with packing piece.
Box is notably slit-free. A little tear to the packing. Harder find than the usual pictorial box version. No graffiti. A little shelf rubbing on box base underside. Couple of scratches to the surface of the lid.
