Notes
In 1951, Dinky planned to put into production an Albion Milk Tanker. It never went into full production, however. Scale drawings were made as well as a wooden sample piece in July 1951, (wooden sample piece was painted dark green).
Much later, a white metal model was made (1990’s) by an ex-employee of the Dinky factory – and this is one of these!
Few very minor marks only, and a dab of slightly darker green paint at a wheel arch.
This is a well-constructed model, with a real Dinky feel.
Exceptionally scarce item, and what a talking point in a commercial Dinky collection!
