The Dinky Eagles were produced between 1975 to 1980 and the blue frieghter was the last variation of the Eagles to be released with the white freighter section rather than the original red which had originally appeared with a white main body.

Early releases came with decals which had the familiar radiation symbol similar to what was seen in the series, however this was later changed to a different design using a triangle on a red circle.
Personally, I find the different coloured components that make up this version quite appealing.

Great shots of a nifty spaceship design Scoop!
ReplyDeleteI never quite understood why the design people at Dinky decided to paint most of the Gerry Anderson range of toys completely different colours to the originals! Even as a child I thought it was pretty naff... What were these people smoking?
ReplyDeleteHowever, I did think this colour scheme was a thing of beauty. Nice one Scoop.
My favourite as well. Looks great also in a window box with styrofoam lunar landscape.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots as always, Scoop
