Notes

What a fine example of this impressive Dinky military set! This is a close to mint example which functions perfectly, with a complete and intact missile (and that includes the rubber nose).

Obviously this set has spent most of its fifty or so years in its box. The occasional small mark at an exposed edge, paint loss at the tow ring, and a few little marks to the fins on the missile.
This is the more difficult to source early issue with metal (as opposed to plastic) cogs in the mechanism which raise and lower the missile.
Missile Launching Pad has all delicate parts intact.
The striped Supertoys box is close to mint with bright fresh colours on largely unrubbed clean card.

Very small start of a split at one corner seam of the lid. Shopkeeper’s pencilled price.
Pieces of the old sellotape still in place at the box base. Inside the box, you will find the bright yellow packing piece in which the models sit:

as well as the often missing top packing piece with 666 emboss (minor wear only to the card). Instruction Leaflet is included. D666v3346

Dinky Inspection Tag still inside the box too.
An impressive set – a real delight for military and Dinky enthusiasts alike!
