Notes
Sought after models that are so difficult to find in good condition! Dinky dies were sold to the Indian Firm S. Kumar & Co. trading as Atamco. (1968-70). Often known as Indian-Dinky toys, the finish was poor in comparison.
A fresh and bright example of this fine Dinky aircraft, in white and silver finish with notably complete labels and lettering throughout.
Barely a mark to the paint finish.
The Nicky Toys boxes at=re often found with wear and this one os no exception. Colourful and bright nevertheless, and it does lack two internal end flap. Couple of small punctures caused by contact with the wings and wear besides.
