Mine isn't a minter, but its good enough for me. It's got most of the additional luggage and it's fin, although the aerial is from an additional radio that came with it.
At some point in its life someone decided to paint the centre of the wheel hubs black. I've been meaning to dab a bit of chrome paint on them ever since I got the toy several years ago, but never got round to it.
Like most of the Century 21 toys it's a tad fragile. The spring-loaded opening passenger doors can come right off, the rear gull-wing doors are pretty loose, and the driver is removable. Once again, I'm amazed how many have survived the years.
The box lists the features. The front headlight covers fold down to reveal spring-loaded missiles, and there's a 'powerful' friction motor. It also comes with what's described as 'dummy luggage'.
A tiny Mysteron Detector which looks pretty good, and tiny radio.
A couple of suitcases (the small grey one came with it but I reckon its an additional extra) and some missiles. Mine came with two missiles, but I believe it would have originally had five. These would have originally come wrapped in a small leaflet telling the owner to take care of the model and read the adventures of Captain Scarlet in TV21.
A beautiful toy Scoop and great photos' Im pretty sure I didn't have one as a kid. I only remember the Dinky SPC. I love the little accessories that came with this C21 toy. I've never seen the Mysteron detector close up before so thanks. Oddly enough I bought some SPC spares last year and there was a second unconnected case with the C21 case as well. Maybe people can't help putting cases together in groups!
ReplyDeleteLooks that way Woodsy, although I can't be sure that some didn't come with an extra case. I never had one myself as a kid,and like you only had the Dinky version. A great toy though.
