Notes
What an impressive Dinky military set! This military piece has an original matt military green finish, bright metal parts including the winding handle, with a complete and intact missile (and that includes the rubber nose). Very minor marking to the transfers on the missile.
This is the second issue with plastic (as opposed to metal) cogs in the mechanism which raise and lower the missile well.
Missile Launching Pad has a few of the near-inevitable marks at the tow ring.
Small extra sweep of white paint on the missile.
The striped Supertoys box is complete, clean and bright with a couple of very small areas of surface loss due to old tape removal at some time. Small area of surface loss on a short lid end too.
Inside the box, you will find the bright and complete lower yellow packing piece in which the models sit. Upper packing piece too.
